I don't think there is any reason why a plugin will *need* to share
static data with the application.  Ideally we should be able to unload
plugins correctly, without needing to keep them resident like this.

For quarks, you can just use g_quark_from_string() instead of
g_quark_from_static_string().  gnome-build shouldn't export any apis
that rely on static data that outlasts project plugins.
