   Use EXTRA_QT_MODULES instead. See d23999a.

   @tbertels Hmm, yeah the README.md should be fixed in this regard, because EXTRA_QT_PLUGINS is simply the old name for what is now EXTRA_QT_MODULES. The README.md addition was based on outdated information from #157.

   This environment variable was renamed because it really refers to modules, not plugins. waylandcompositor is a module as well, whereas the Wayland plugins are added using the EXTRA_PLATFORM_PLUGINS environment variable.
