Okay so I finally built rhythmbox via jhbuild after 8 hours of struggle.
Still need a bit of clarification.

The plugin guide for rhythmbox mentions two paths where rhythmbox looks for
plugins. $libdir/rhythmbox/plugins and $HOME/.local/share/rhythmbox/plugins.
Now considering my 'prefix' or install path for jhbuild is say
~/dev/jhbuild/install/,
What would these directories correspond to in this jhbuild sandbox?
I see similar directories as ~/dev/jhbuild/install/lib64/rhythmbox/plugins
and ~/dev/jhbuild/install/share/rhythmbox/plugins respectively.

Is this the way it's supposed to be? i mean, my jhbuilt sandboxed rhythmbox
would know from some internal jhbuild magic that $libdir for itself is
"~/dev/jhbuild/install/lib64/" and not "/usr/lib" like it normally is?

If yes, I think I understood the purpose of JHBuild.
