Surely then the various proposals are effectively in alignment? Filling 
in the gaps, I see this:

/usr/bin/qmake5 <- documented - distros do not fuck with this
/usr/bin/qmake <- distros fuck with this so it may not be what you think
/something/bin/qmake <- and all the other qt bins
pkg-config -some query = /something/bin <- for finding the qt bins


And then my source build, plus Win/Mac builds look like:

bin/qmake5 <- documented
bin/qmake <- still here

I'm pretty sure qmake was the only contentious binary but any other 
binary that needs to be installed into /usr/bin and conflicts with a qt 
4 version can be treated the same way.

The qmake5 can be a symlink on Linux+Mac. On Windows... you get a copy. 
Is that really so bad?
