And it seems that's not even possible? From:

  http://doc-snapshot.qt-project.org/qt5-5.4/windows-deployment.html

"Since we cannot deploy plugins using the static linking approach, the 
application we have prepared is incomplete. It will run, but the 
functionality will be disabled due to the missing plugins. To deploy 
plugin-based applications we should use the shared library approach."

So is this a no-go with MXE?
