+Note that you need to make sure that OpenSSL DLLs are in BEGINLIBPATH or in
+LIBPATH before Qt attempts to load the SQL plugins for the first time. If it
+fails to load them, it will cache a failure and will not retry even if the
+plugins can be loaded later. To fix that, you need to delete the file
+%HOME%\.config\Trolltech.ini where this cache is stored.
