The plugins should not have additional dependencies. Does it give you a
compilation error? If so, please, post what it is. If it just does not
load plugins if you run it, here is why:

There is a bug that current git version searches plugins in wrong
path if you build and install it ('make release; make install'). I'm
working on a fix, but it is a bit more complex to do it right. I'll have
to come up with some solid solution.

You can still easily run plugins if you build the debug or release
version and run it from tree, that is without make install.

I'll post more info once I've found a good solution. I will probably
hack something in qmake that will change the plugin path just before
installing, so you can run release and debug versions from source tree.
I just don't know how :-)

Although I have it somewhere, it's not up to date anyway. I made some
incompatible changes to make development easier.

No problem, I'm not giving up on qt4 just yet. The qt4 will stick with
us for a while.
