Ok, I solved this by using the Windows-only *DLLDESTDIR* qmake setting in the
project file. This places /just/the DLL files into the target location and it
happens automatically at the end of the build, which is exactly what I was
looking for. It only works for Windows, but that's my current deployment
platform, so I'll deal with other operating systems if/as I portto them.
Nice talking with you, Andrzej. :)

I'm using Creator 4.0.3. I'm building a Qt plug-in for my application

I admit right up front, I'm fairly unknowledgeable about using qmake's
INSTALL option. I've been using the DESTDIR option to direct the output to
the correct location, but that directs /all/build files, not just the
resulting shared library file. I only want the shared library file to be
deployed to the target location.
I've tried adding an INSTALL target to the plug-in's project .pro file, but
I don't see a way within Qt Creator to execute that target (ideally, it
would automatically execute after the build). I also see the "Deployment"
section under "Run", but my INSTALL target is not listed there, and I'm not
sure how to set that up.
Can somebody give me some pointers to having (only) my shared library
plug-in file deployed to a target location automatically following a
successful build within Qt Creator?
