Those lists are probably empty because you don't have any staticplugins 
compiled in. Remember: staticplugins are not plugins. They are regular, static 
libraries whose only access point is via the plugin loader mechanism.

If you poke through the internals of QPluginLoader, you'll find it. See the 
QLibraryStore global static instance in qlibrary.cpp.
