Well OK, appending /Qt/libexec to every entry in LD_LIBRARY_PATH (plus default 
library paths like /usr/lib or /usr/lib64 somehow...)

I would say it should be in the same place as the library. But that in turn 
leads to the question of how to know where the library is :-)

I am a bit surprised that all this isn't already specified anywhere. Well, 
probably because individual apps just like into their install prefix, while 
we're aiming for something more generic here.
