Vincent,

plugins have to have a filename of the form "gdal_<drivername>.so"
and the registration entry point for the driver in that .so has to be
of the form "GDALRegister_<drivername>".  I see the registration entry
point is GDALRegister_KMLSUPEROVERLAY() so you should name the .so
gdal_KMLSUPEROVERLAY.so

I'll leave it up to Harsh Govind to answer questions about the driver itself.

Best regards,
