Gentoo has a tool that serves the same purpose and it's called
eselect, so qselect isn't a bad name IMHO.
In Gentoo's case, it's used for gcc, postgres and many other packages
that can have slots ( multiple version install ). It's a shame other
distros don't have their own eselect, then it wouldn't be necessary
for Qt to have it's own.

I guess I'm a bit late, but just my 2c.

Kind Regards,
