Hey all,

It looks like people who install Geary from source to /usr/local (more common now that meson defaults to that as the install prefix) are finding their web extensions not being loaded under Fedora for... reasons.

It would be good to have a more deterministic API for loading extensions, so applications can determine when loading one has failed and report an error, something like "webkit_web_context_load_web_extension_async(const gchar *dir, const gchar *name, ...)". Is this likely to be possible to implement?

As an aside, I note that Ephy is installing its web extensions to `libexec`, despite extensions not being executables. Is that to work around issues with /usr/local lib dirs not being on ld.so.conf paths?
