It provides a sane way of coexisting for 2 moc executables for the same Qt version.
E.g. someone can register different moc executable for some Qt version and
it will work immediately with old makefiles.

Otherwise the only option is to overwrite existing moc with no fallback possibility.

It also makes possible to have one moc working for several Qt versions.
