It is a matter of both if the header file prevents compiling already. The 
reason why the header files for the plugins are in package 
libqt3-plugin-headers (which are only there for your reference, *not* for 
using it to compile anything) is that if an app uses qwindowsstyle.h or any 
other style header it is most likely that it will also try to access the 
member functions in the library. As that is not the case providing the header 
files by default will result in that you can compile, but not link. With the 
header files for the plugins stripped out you can find out about problems 
much earlier. I think we have to update the readme again *sigh*
