[Qt-interest] Adding new plugins path in QTWebKit

[Garth Dahlstrom]

Hi Zaid, 

You can try setting QTWEBKIT_PLUGIN_PATH in your environment (it should take multiple paths, colon delimited), this variable is  mentioned in Qt 4.6's WebKit sources @ /src/3rdparty/webkit/WebCore/plugins/PluginDatabase.cpp around line 383.   I've not tried it, so I'm not sure how well it works.    Alternatively, you could add your path to that block of plugin directories above that, but that would require rebuilding QtWebkit.

Cheers,

-G
