Done in v7-0001. Some of the improvements in the WIP patch were also
cherry-picked, and I fixed a stray comment bug. -0001 and -0002 are
next up for commit.

-0003 fills out the commit message and should be generally reviewable
now. -0004 adds the ability to LD_LIBRARY_PATH your way into flow
plugin development for the v20 cycle. -0005 becomes pretty much
useless other than for testing (and it should possible to adapt those
tests to -0004's implementation at some point).

Thanks,
