The reason why the header files for the plugins are in package libqt3-plugin-headers (which are only there for your reference, *not* for using it to compile anything) is that if an app uses qwindowsstyle.h or any other style header it is most likely that it will also try to access the member functions in the library. As that is not the case providing the header files by default will result in that you can compile, but not link. With the header files for the plugins stripped out you can find out about problems much earlier. I think we have to update the readme again *sigh*
