[Development] Using qml.exe with a custom QML_ELEMENT plugin

[Elias Steurer]

I can confirm a simple:

     for (const QString &importPath : parser.values(importOption)){
         QByteArray path = qgetenv("PATH");
         QByteArray newPath = importPath.toLocal8Bit() + ";";
         newPath += path;
         qputenv("PATH", newPath);
         qDebug() << "Modified PATH:" << qgetenv("PATH");
         e.addImportPath(importPath);
     }

did the trick. I will see if I will get to setup the tedious 
contribution process going. Should I create a feature issue for this? 
Then we could continue the discussion there.

Cheers,

Eli
