Yea I'm not so sure about this idea due to this. One way to avoid it
is by releasing the plugins in parallel with Amarok, in the same way
trunk/KDE does for all those apps.

But I wonder if the better solution isn't to extend QtScript to make
possible whatever it is that they need. I mean, they have access to
the full Qt API already, so it would be no problem (as-in, ~10 LOC) to
just give them a QWidget to parent on and let them do whatever they
want.
