   \class QCAPlugin qcaprovider.h QtCrypto

   Provider plugin base class

   QCA loads cryptographic provider plugins with QPluginLoader.  The QObject
   obtained when loading the plugin must implement the QCAPlugin interface.
   This is done by inheriting QCAPlugin, and including
   Q_INTERFACES(QCAPlugin) in your class declaration.

   For example:
\code
class MyPlugin : public QObject, public QCAPlugin
{
	Q_OBJECT
	Q_INTERFACES(QCAPlugin)
public:
	virtual Provider *createProvider() { ... }
};
\endcode

   There is only one function to reimplement, called createProvider().  This
   function should return a newly allocated Provider instance.
