I've made the internal libsylph shared library for plug-in support.

Currently, the internal one is incompatible with standalone
libsylph-1.x, so it is named as 'libsylph-0' (maybe it should be
libsylph-internal or something).

Eventually I want to unify both. I'm not sure how it should be
distributed yet (standalone or not).
