[Interest] (Q)Plugins and QML/Quick

[Rui Oliveira]

Hey,

Maybe I missed something, but this seems more like a solution to manage 
QML resources and modules that you know about at compile time.

I'm talking about a runtime problem. Lemme try to explain with some 
simplified code. Allow me to leave a link to some markdown and syntax 
highlighted stuff:

best regards,
Rui
