The only plugin that we could guarantee binary compatibility for is the 
QSQLLITE plugin, so its the only one that comes precompiled. If you need 
other plugins, you need to build Qt, then build Qt Jambi using that 
freshly build Qt. This version of Qt Jambi will then have all plugins 
that you built availble. This version of Qt Jambi would however not be 
compatible with eclipse, so the eclipse integration will most likely not 
work together with it.
