i don't want that. lrelease is bootstrapped since 4.6 or so, and it
sucks (no codec support, for example). also, the code sharing between
the linguist app and tools would add some logistical hassle when tearing

qttools is not built in x-builds at all, and as far as the linguist
toolchain is concerned, there is absolutely no reason to (starting with
qt 4.8) - just use a desktop build.
