OK, I think I got the FreeTalk galago feed nearly ready. The only
problem left is, I wouldn't let that really tiny
libfreetalk-galago-feed.so go into lib/ or something, but rather into
share/freetalk/plugins/. Then, galago-feed.scm (containing the
load-extension command) would have to know the datadir or at least the
prefix, wouldn't it? I mean it would have to do something like

(load-extension 
    (string-append prefix
"share/freetalk/plugins/libfreetalk-galago-feed.so")
    "init_ft_galago_feed")

but I don't know where to get "prefix" or something similar from.

Thanks,
Matthias
