Are you sure that results actually "do no not work" on OS X (and that this has 
nothing to do with QStandardPaths returning unexpected locations)?!
It is always possible to ensure that the plugins get the correct install_name 
and even a compatibility_version if there's any point in that (do these get 
versioning under Linux?). This can be done during the link step but also 
afterwards (probably more complicated to get right in CMake scripts). Whatever 
the approach, it should be possible to do it in the CMake macro (cmake already 
generates an option to set the install_name because otherwise the linker would 
either assume a relative install_name [just the filename] or use the full path 
to the output file).

I presume that at least some of the plugins targeted here exists for KDE4 and 
if so, are still built the way they were there?
