Or.. they could change Qt so it works in a manner that's not totally 
counter-intuitive.  It's not complicated.  If Qt puts its plugins under 
a 'plugins' directory, users will reasonably assume that they should do 
likewise.

At the very least, they should put the documentation for this much more 
clearly on the 'Deploying Qt Applications' page, and not on the 'How to 
Create Qt Plugins' page, which, guess what, people will probably only 
read if they want to create a plugin.
