No, you don't have to do it. Simply copy the QT image plugin to
plugin_dir/imageformats and your new image format are usable immediately
both in KDE and QT applications! It's like the designer, sql and style
plugins. No registration, or anything else needed. See:
http://doc.trolltech.com/3.2/plugins-howto.html
Also converting from the kimageio plugins to qt plugins is very easy (I
did it on all the plugins in three hours).
