What was the reason for moving Qt4 into its own prefix? I guess this is
about allowing Qt4 and Qt5 to be installed at the same time?
I only noticed this now, but it seems this change will cause problems:
* binaries in ${prefix}/libexec/qt4/bin are inaccessible and not in PATH
* pkg-config files in ${prefix}/libexec/qt4/lib/pkgconfig/ will not be
found by default (needs additional PKG_CONFIG_PATH)
* cmake modules in ${prefix}/libexec/qt4/share/cmake/ will not be found
by default (needs additional CMAKE_MODULE_PATH)
The same seems to apply to qt5-mac as well. Also, the choice of
${prefix}/libexec/qt4/ vs. ${prefix}/libexec/qt5-mac/ looks inconsistent.
Please do not simply drop everything related to Qt into its own prefix.
At least keep the files mentioned above in the default locations where
they can be found and used by other build systems.
