[PyKDE] Including database support in Qt runtime

[Tuvi, Selim]

Thanks, compiling the SQL drivers as plugins works just fine with PyQt. The only thing to watch out for is that if the plugin DLL is in the plugins/sqldrivers directory it still tries to load the database runtime libraries, if I move them somewhere else then it doesn't complain.

I don't see why not. PyQt doesn't know about the different databases.
