PCSX2 attempts to enumerate any file placed in /plugins/ as a plugin regardless of extension or type

[GoogleCodeExporter]

1) Did the game ever work correctly (i.e. not have this problem) on the
Official PCSX2 build or an earlier version of PCSX2 playground?
(If so, please specify the latest pcsx2-playground or Official revision
that last worked.)

Not game related

2) What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Rename a plugin to {pluginname}.dll_
2. Run PCSX2
3. Plugin is still enumerated

3) What exactly happens when you experience this issue (listing any console
errors or screen output you receive)?
No errors, just annoying behavior

4) What version of PCSX2 are you using? On what operating system? Plugins?
580x
Windows 7

5) Please provide any additional information below.
It is expected that plugins only be loaded if the extension is dll, and be 
skipped if anything else.

usually id just whack a _ on the extension to stop it from being loaded :p

turned out i was using the renamed plugin instead of the new one i'd just 
dropped in, and orphis's buildbot not currently embedding the svn version 
doesn't help lol.

Okay, I guess it makes sense to only look for .dll (.so on Linux?) in /plugins.
