[Interest] example code for C++ plugin qml extension?

[Alan Alpert]

The example's .pro file should install all those files to the correct
directory. If not, try manually copying the TimeExample directory
(make sure it has the built .so file) into the "qml" folder of your Qt
installation (the qml folder should be next to the bin folder which
contains qmake).
