Qt 5.x and OS X 10.6

[Ken Cunningham]

I think this might be progress.

Fixed the libstdc++ linking (my fault, sorta, not theirs -- had to do the -std=libc++  in the CXX flags that is pervasive on the LibCxxOnOlderSystems machine).

I note this 'platform plugin' issue was all over the 'net when 5.4 came out a while back, so I suspect I'll find some kind of fix eventually... so far moving the libqcocoa.dylib into various places in the app bundle, or setting the DYLD path, hasn't worked, but I have other things to try still.

I'll be mighty pleased if qt5 opens a window here one day :> I'll plug along for a bit with 5.4 before I skulk away to 5.3.2.

qt has configuration files all over the place, all calling each other -- what a maze to follow...

here's the output of what you suggested -- perhaps you see something there that I don't immediately notice...
