But, can an alternate osg plugin searth path be specified from osgEarth, or can this be added.  I can't bundle osg/osgEarth in the QGIS application if not, and must distribute a separate package like my other frameworks (though maybe others would be interested in that).

[Marvin]  You think you have problems?  What are you supposed to do if you ARE a maniacally depressed robot?  No, don't try and answer, I'm 50,000 times more intelligent than you and even I don't know the answer...
