While trying to get Andreas's h323 plugin (http://www.voice2sniff.org/
another *shameless plug* :-) ) to build for Linux, I couldn't figure out
why the *&^*% the h323.so plugin wouldn't show up in the plugin list.
It turned out to be some undefined symbols which were very nicely shown
by this very simple patch, without it, the module loading was just silently
failing.
