Yes that's what we do in the new hildon-desktop code (see
https://stage.maemo.org/svn/maemo/projects/haf/trunk/hildon-desktop/).

Unfortunately it doesn't solve all the problems. Say plugin foo links
against gtkhtml, then the types for gtkhtml get registered statically,
then registered again when the applet is reloaded.
