I'm not sure how things are set up for ubuntu, but in Fedora, I've got
a copy of mythconfig.mak in /usr/include/mythtv and in my copy of the
source.  My guess is that the "config.mak" file in your
/home/zbenta/mythtv/ directory is **NOT** the same file.  My
suggestion would be:

1)  download the source from www.mythtv.org for **BOTH** mythtv and the plugins
2)  go to your copy of the source and run the configure script with
whatever you need for parameters (e.g., for building on Fedora, one
wants to install to /usr so I usually use --prefix=/usr, but there are
other things as well, type ./configure --help for a list).  You will
need to run the configure scripts in both the mythtv and mythplugins
directories (I think).
3) You DO NOT need to compile mythtv -- only run the configure scripts.
4) Move your source tree for the mythhello plugin into the plugin directory
5) change back to using ../../mythconfig.mak and /../../settings.pro
in your .pro file
6) qmake-qt4 -recursive
7) make
8) see what happens.
