Comment (by rjvbertin@…):

 @mk: I have been putting this on hold for a while, because without a
 possibility to have multiple Qt versions installed concurrently, qtchooser
 doesn't serve a lot of purpose...

 @larry: I'm not sure what `port select` would offer, but I think qtchooser
 gives more flexibility, and of course it's been conceived from the ground
 up to work with different Qt versions. And of course it's not unlikely at
 all that it provides functionality that's expected e.g. by 3rd party build
 systems that can build for both versions (QtCurve would be one of those).

 I'm currently working on a +concurrent variant for qt4-mac (since I got
 some frowns for proposing to use new ports). Once I have qt4-mac and
 qt5-mac living together happily I'll see where we can go with qtchooser,
 and if it's necessary.
 (I just hope I won't have to redefine the installation locations by
 then...)
