With bindir set to /usr/bin and libdir set to /usr/lib. That means Qt 2, 3 and 
4 co-installed just because we changed the library names:

	Qt 2:		libqt.so & libqt.so.2
	Qt 3:		libqt-mt.so & libqt-mt.so.3
	Qt 4:		libQtXxx.so & libQtXxx.so.4

The change in names was not done because of the co-installation, but it 
resulted in permitting it.
