If you place them in the "standard location" - as indicated in the
mentioned Qt docs - there is no need to programatically tell the Qt
framework where to look for them ("the application directory will
serve as 'plugin-base' directory"):

  http://qt-project.org/doc/latest/deployment-plugins.html#the-plugin-directory

Except on Mac, where it is advisable to generate a proper qt.conf file
with the proper "Plugins" entry:

  http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qt-conf.html

(or use the programmatical approach as previously explained, using
relative paths to point to the Qt plugin directory within the
application bundle).

Cheers, Oliver
