I started to reply to this but got looking at the Qt image plugins v.
the libraries they depend on. I *think* a fresh rebuild of Qt4 may
fix my issue but, as you know, that ties up a machine for a long
time. I'll kick it off in a little bit and test in the morning.
BTW, MacPorts added a mechanism to scan for linking issues like this
when they started doing binary software installs. I think the rather
singular layout of Qt4 might mean that the plugins aren't being
checked. Should be simple enough to prevent going forward, if that
is actually the problem.
