[Development] Missing MacOS Qt5 beta installer (IT WAS: Experimental Qt 5 installers by Digia)

[Leandro Melo de Sales]

Hi Tuukka and others,
   I have checked again the current directory for Qt5 beta installers and,
once again, the MacOS .dmg installer was not built. Why?

   The latest available was compiled in 2012-07-13.

Thank you,
Leandro.
