It was (is) part of a system for using MusE widgets in other apps,
 intended mainly for creating your own custom MusE LADSPA
 plugin guis.

When built, it places a musewidgetsplug.so into the QtDesigner
 custom widgets folder.
Then the MusE widgets are available for use anywhere.

It was disabled during the move to Qt4 while we got our widgets act together,
 the system for building the library changes in Qt4.

I intend to reactivate it soon, now that namespaces and our various widgets
 are finally coming together.

Curve-ball to muddy the water: IIRC The library needs the config initialization 
 values stored there! Haven't looked lately, but I think that's how it works.

FYI There are already two built-in custom LADSPA guis in MusE:
If you add a TAP Reverb in MusE and open the gui, you are seeing a custom gui,
 not the generic gui you see on all other plugins.
And one other one, I think Freeverb or something.
