I think we can incorporate qmake into the regular Octave autotools, but qmake
definitely makes some things easier. For example, qmake already handles making
MOC files and dealing with making an app bundle for OSX platforms. This
encompasses a lot of rigamarole if attempted through autotools (I think). The
point is that we would have to figure out how to do a bunch of stuff the
"autotools way". Is there something wrong with having an autotools target that
calls
1) qmake in the UI directory
2) make in the UI directory
We already need QT to even build the thing and qmake is distributed with QT, so
it isn't as if we are adding another dependency.
