ldconfig is not really involved here since the plugins are not automatically
loaded by the linker loader.  The problem is in
3d-viewer/3d_cache/3d_plugin_manager.cpp in loadPlugins(). See
line 136 (wxStandardPaths::Get().GetPluginsDir()) and then lines
147..149.  The challenge is to ensure that we search the correct path
on a multiarch system like Ubuntu. Perhaps we should rely on cmake
rather than wxWidgets to determine the default root path of these
plugins and cmake can pass this information via a header file.
