Because the point is that I should ask Qt (through PyQt) where the 
plugins are; otherwise, PyInstaller's hooks would have to reproduce all 
the logic that Qt does to discover possible plugin paths (which are 
arbitrarly complex, vary arbitrarly through versions, etc.). I don't 
want to duplicate all that code: there must be a way to ask Qt where it 
is looking for plugins.

I'll investigate further.
