I am glad you brought this up. I did send out the UDS meeting minutes
to the list but I forgot to follow up on this.

https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,29464 renames the tools to
uic5, moc5, qmake5. The top level configure also needs a one line fix
which I haven't pushed yet. I was able to compile qt5 modules with
that change.

I haven't looked into renaming the libraries. Before I do that, I
wanted to check with the list on their thoughts/comments on this
change.

I do think the libraries and tools should be renamed.
