Aloha as we noticed in https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/124916/ the qml plugin name resolution is pretty meh and desperately needs improving [1]. Essentially QML plugins on Linux *must* be prefixed with 'lib'
e.g. libdragandrop.so If they do not have the prefix they won't get found. This is pretty unintuitive and ultimately lead to us collectively resorting to marking QML plugins as SHARED libraries in cmake, even though they are not. The problem is that cmake MODULEs do not get a prefix by default so if we were to use MODULE qml would no longer be able to find the binary plugins. A quick trace suggests that QQmlImportDatabase::resolvePlugin is the culprit here. It tries to resolve plugins using a hardcoded "lib" prefix. What it should do is attempt to find the plugin with or without prefix. Any volunteers for improving this to also look for a pluginName without prefix?
