No, it's a historical thing: the Makefile.shlib stuff didn't exist when
pltcl was developed.  I'm not entirely sure why I didn't try to fold
pltcl in with the Makefile.shlib approach when we started doing that.
Possibly I was just thinking "don't fix what ain't broken".  But now
I'd vote for changing over.
