Using dynamic Qt plugins in KAuth

[Dario Freddi]

(In reply to Thiago)

It's because I can't use KService. Those plugins will be loaded in helpers
as well, and I surely don't want to spawn a KDE session just to load a pair
of plugins, so using Qt's dynamic plugins seems to me a better solution. Is
something like  ${LIB_INSTALL_DIR}/kauth/helper acceptable?
