Soren Jorvang 7d0f03cb61 Don't store the absolute pathname of plugins in the configuration file,
just the basename like libPlugin_foo.dylib. Dolphin then loads the
plugins relative to the compiled-in plugins directory.

This means that you won't have to reselect the plugins when running 
different builds (in different directories) and is most obviously
beneficial on OS X where application bundles are not (should not) be
expected to stay in the place where they are first installed.

This is tested on OS X and Linux with local/global build options, but
not Windows. I don't anticipate any problems on Windows, but that OS
does have slightly different semantics with regard to path component
separators and file suffixes, so it's something to watch out for.
