using the lib template dll option on *nix

[jamadagni]

"dll" will be ignored on platforms other than windows. "plugin" is a perfectly valid option on all platforms.

If so then:

1. the documentation should say that
2. there would be no way to create a shared library using qmake

Don't expect Trolltech to change option names in qmake (the only thing they can do is add an option but not remove it), becuase it would mean loosing backward compatibility with already written programms.

This is why they have words like "deprecated"

I don't think I understand... If you use a "lib" template without the "staticlib" config option, you'll get a shared library...

And besides... "dll" means "dynamically loaded library" which is basically true on all platforms.
