set plugin extension to .scx on all platforms

[Spacechild1]

in SC 3.15 the .so extension will be deprecated.

One question... What happens if the user has the old installed, updates, then rebuilds. What happens to the old files after installing the new ones?

What happens to the old files after installing the new ones?

If installed manually: nothing, the user has to manually remove the old files.

With the official sc3-plugins packages the package manager should be responsible for removing the old files. At least that's what I would think.

I don't really know anything about this, but if you don't uninstall but instead just update, and the file changes, might you still be left with the old file?

What would happen in that case? Would both be loaded?

Debian packages have remove scripts that are responsible for removing files before a new version gets installed. If the package maintainer did a good job, the old .so files should be removed before the new .scx files are installed. If that's not the case, users should file an issue to the package maintainer.

Both would be loaded, but the user still gets the deprecation warning.
