http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682586%28VS.85%29.aspx says the 
"current directory" is also searched.  You probably don't have control over 
how Photoshop sets the current directory before it loads your plug-in, but 
it seems if it changed the current directory to your plug-in's folder, then 
the Qt DLL's stored there would be loaded properly.
