The original problem being solved is co-installation of Qt 4 + Qt 5 for 
Linux distros.

How is any of the above relevant to that?

If you want to solve all those other problems then sure, a symlink isn't 
enough but I'm not sure we need to solve all those other problems as 
part of the co-installation of Qt 4 + Qt 5 for Linux distros.

You still have PATH, qset, etc. for selecting a specific build when 
there are multiple available. Work on this meta-qmake that calls through 
to one of many installed versions can still be done. Perhaps though, 
it's not something that needs to block the release of Qt 5.0.
