You may want to consider using the approach I took in mariadb tree -
plugins are found automatically and symlinked (or copied) into var/plugins.
For every plugin PLUGINNAME_SO is set to the plugin name. No separate
configuration file is needed.
The main benefit - one can load more than one plugin at once, as they
all are under the same plugin-dir.
If you'd like I can contribute this mtr change under sca.

other my mtr extensions that you may be interested in include
* support for suite.pm files
* extending my.cnf templating
* support for .opt files (e.g. include/have_innodb.opt, etc)
