I am going to forbid plug-ins from being installed directly in the root
of the plug-ins/ directory. They will have to be installed in a
subdirectory named the same as the entry point binary.
This may seem useless for our core plug-ins which are nearly all
self-contained in single binaries, but this is actually a necessary
restriction to eliminate totally the DLL hell issue on Windows. Moving
core plug-ins in subfolders is only a necessary consequence for it.
Created a resource file for plug-ins and a rule to link it to them.
The application icon file is smaller than the default one, there's no
point in doubling the size of a plug-in executable just for an icon.
If no problems turn up, this will close the bug.

* plug-ins/fli: rename files in these folders to have no
underscores and match new names of the plug-ins.
* configure.in: changed accordingly.
