Sure. I'd be happy to take another stab at this. Should we drop support
for Qt 5 or allow both 4 and 5? If both, Should we allow configure to be
run with options like

  --with-qt=5
  --with-qt=4
  --with-qt (default)
  --without-qt

and the default behavior would be to try Qt 5 first and fall back to Qt
4? I think getting the configure rewrite done right would be the hardest
part of supporting both major versions of Qt, since the pkg-config and
library names are all different.
