[Development] Compiling Qt5 Alpha on Linux fails

[marius.storm-olsen at nokia.com]

The original intention was to support installed libs. However after quite done testing (after having created the script) we decided that the alpha couldn't support it.

Now we will support it in the beta, so there was no point in removing it. 

And as it solves a problem exposed by Jom with top-level Makefiles on Windows, it remains the build method of choice also in the alpha.

If we only support in-source non-install builds for now, what was the
reason for adding that "build" script?
