Two things.

1. This is only reached if shouldnotlink is false. That means it's only 
the things that you are already assuming are plugins, right? If so, why 
is this even done?

2. What happens if I call it with `remove_libtool_files all 
only-not-required`? Nobody ever does any checking of the # of args.

I'd rewrite it once as soon as you get all the reviews and before 
committing. Rewrites tend to never happen, since it turns out that 
people have other things to do with their time.

OK, got it. Stop writing confusing logic. =P
