Before you do that, can you write up a proposal on what you want to accomplish and how to get there? There are multiple stake-holders (including me) who do not necessarily want to read through an email discussion and/or patches in order to see the big picture.

I agree we should make Qt relocatable (with @rpath). I also think the current macdeployqt solution works adequately. There is one standing issue: code signing does not work on 10.9+. I would like to see this resolved before work on using @rpath begins. 

(I don’t work on the installer framework so I don’t have an opinion there.)
