I'm not sure that we have the same goal -- or at least, I didn't
understand from your explanation how to achieve it. What I want to be
able to do is:

# some steps to configure the projects as desired,
# and from that time on be able to do
$ cd src/projectA
$ qmake               # uses qmake for qt5
$ cd ../projectB
$ qmake               # uses qmake for qt4

Without any intermediate steps to select the version (which I might not
remember).

In order to be able to make this, you need to have a specialized "qmake"
program which decides which qmake binary to run.

Ciao,
  Alberto
