Comment(by michaelld@…):

 'root's 'configure' looks for a number of Qt libraries, doesn't use pkg-
 config to find them, and allows for only 1 library in the 'qt' search
 path.  By default, qt4-mac uses Framework installs for libraries, which
 means that each library is in a different directory (its framework) -- so
 not the "standard" means of libraries and paths.  I would encourage
 someone to contact 'root' developers and request that the Qt portions of
 'configure' be moved to use pkg-config since those files are well-
 maintained and reliable.

 That said, I've hacked together a way to get around the lack of pkg-config
 that seems to work, and have created a variant for qt_mac and qt_x11.  I
 don't know how to use 'root', but it all does compile and link correctly
 so I'll let someone else do the testing.  I'll check in the changes along
 with those upgrading qt4-mac (per ticket #25320).
