I am working with the developer files, not the install files. It does 
not even work for that case.

Also, the plugin dll's are a special case of dll. They were not linked 
against BibleTime like most other dll's. They are directly loaded by Qt 
by it looking for dll files in a specific directory, so they don't need 
to be on any path for it to work.

If I get svg working in the development case, we will still have to do 
more work in the install files because this plugin is not currently there.

Also, I note that the svg icon is the only icon case that uses a plugin. 
The others are just built into Qt.
