+    \class QPluginLoader
+    \reentrant
+    \brief The QPluginLoader class loads a plugin at run-time.
+
+
+    \ingroup plugins
+
+    QPluginLoader provides access to a \l{How to Create Qt
+    Plugins}{Qt plugin}. A Qt plugin is stored in a shared library (a
+    DLL) and offers these benefits over shared libraries accessed
+    using QLibrary:
+
+    \list
+    \o QPluginLoader checks that a plugin is linked against the same
+       version of Qt as the application.
+    \o QPluginLoader provides direct access to a root component object
+       (instance()), instead of forcing you to resolve a C function manually.
+    \endlist
+
+    An instance of a QPluginLoader object operates on a single shared
+    library file, which we call a plugin. It provides access to the
+    functionality in the plugin in a platform-independent way. To
+    specify which plugin to load, either pass a file name in
+    the constructor or set it with setFileName().
+
+    The most important functions are load() to dynamically load the
+    plugin file, isLoaded() to check whether loading was successful,
+    and instance() to access the root component in the plugin. The
+    instance() function implicitly tries to load the plugin if it has
+    not been loaded yet. Multiple instances of QPluginLoader can be
+    used to access the same physical plugin.
+
+    Once loaded, plugins remain in memory until all instances of
+    QPluginLoader has been unloaded, or until the application
+    terminates. You can attempt to unload a plugin using unload(),
+    but if other instances of QPluginLoader are using the same
+    library, the call will fail, and unloading will only happen when
+    every instance has called unload(). Right before the unloading
+    happen, the root component will also be deleted.
+
+    In order to speed up loading and validation of plugins, some of
+    the information that is collected during loading is cached in
+    persistent memory (through QSettings). For instance, the result
+    of a load operation (e.g. succeeded or failed) is stored in the
+    cache, so that subsequent load operations don't try to load an
+    invalid plugin. However, if the "last modified" timestamp of
+    a plugin has changed, the plugin's cache entry is invalidated
+    and the plugin is reloaded regardless of the values in the cache
+    entry. The cache entry is then updated with the new result of the
+    load operation.
+
+    This also means that the timestamp must be updated each time the
+    plugin or any dependent resources (such as a shared library) is
+    updated, since the dependent resources might influence the result
+    of loading a plugin.
+
+    See \l{How to Create Qt Plugins} for more information about
+    how to make your application extensible through plugins.
+
+    Note that the QPluginLoader cannot be used if your application is
+    statically linked against Qt. In this case, you will also have to
+    link to plugins statically. You can use QLibrary if you need to
+    load dynamic libraries in a statically linked application.
+
+    \note In Symbian the plugin stub files must be used whenever a
+    path to plugin is needed. For the purposes of loading plugins,
+    the stubs can be considered to have the same name as the actual
+    plugin binary. In practice they have ".qtplugin" extension
+    instead of ".dll", but this difference is handled transparently
+    by QPluginLoader and QLibrary to avoid need for Symbian specific
+    plugin handling in most Qt applications. Plugin stubs are needed
+    because Symbian Platform Security denies all access to the directory
+    where the actual plugin binaries are located.
