    This is a basic mechanism - nothing Qt or Qwt special. If you don't know about it it's high time to learn.

    copy [QWT DIRECTORY]\plugins\designer\qwt_designer_plugin.dll to "C:\Qt\2010.05\qt\plugins\plugins\designer"
    Very bad - read http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/deployment-plugins.html instead.
    Don't you think that it is useless and "very bad" for general performance, to increase the PATH just for 1 dll ? I understand when there is a lot of important things in the directory but here...
    For your 2nd point, are you talking about qt.conf and QT_PLUGIN_PATH ? Again, for a Windows user, it is easier to copy/paste the dll, I don't see the disavantages of that, these 2 dll doesn't deserve to do all these efforts like studying a long English documentation and creating a lot of environment variables.

    No.

    No it isn't and in the long run you will have to pay a lot if you don't get used to organize your system in a proper way.
