Hmm, ok, that makes sense then. Actually I had in my mind that it was
looking relative from libkicad_3dsg.so for
kicad/plugins/3d/libs3d_plugin_*.so.

Is this a solution that could work? I think it may be more portable,
but I don't know if that is something that can be done in an elegant
and portable way. It might indeed be easier to just use a define or
header file provided by cmake.
