You can ship the sources in a qutim-source package and use it to build
the plugins, but that’s really fugly.

Another approach is to find out what files are necessary for compiling
plugins. Theoretically, you don’t need the C++ sources, only the headers
and maybe some static libraries. Then, you can ship all of this in a
qutim-devel package, and modify the build system of the plugins so that
it uses them.

You can also look for another IM software without such a clueless
upstream.
