LXQt panel plugins are standalone sharedlibraries
(*.so) located in PLUGIN_DIR (define provided by CMakeLists.txt).
Plugin for the panel is a library written on C++. One more necessary thing
is a .desktop file describing this plugin. The same may be additional files,
like translations. Themselves plugins will be installed to
/usr/local/lib/lxqt-panel or /usr/lib/lxqt-panel (dependent on cmake option
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX). Desktop files are installed to
/usr/local/share/lxqt/lxqt-panel, translations to
/usr/local/share/lxqt/lxqt-panel/PLUGIN_NAME.
