   This was discussed previously as well.  Is there a standard for where these 
XML defined plugins get installed?  Otherwise we need to define one.  This 
also touches on the whole plugin issue again.  XDG defines this nicely... 
~/.local/ for binaries.  KDE is not XDG compliant until 3.2.  I could copy 
some of the XDG code into Kst and conditionally compile it if that's desired.  
I'm not sure if it addresses system-wide binaries though.
