It would be nice if we could create Koha objects and schema files to be used in
plugins. The problem is that by the time the 
Plugin directories are added to @INC only at the point that Koha::Plugins is
evaluated. This is too late for loading additional Schema files that may be
part of a plugin.

In addition, it makes sense to allow plugins to have a 'lib' directory so that
any additional object and schema files can be stored inside the plugin assets
directory and not pollute the root plugins directory. Without such a 'lib'
directory, we would need to place them in the plugins directory such as
'/var/lib/koha/instancename/plugins/Koha/MyObject.pm'. This file would not be
removed when the plugin is uninstalled.
