For (a) I can feel some guilt, but sadly having to get the paycheck
has become more important nowadays :-/ For (b): the renaming, at very
least on Linux (although Homebrew really needs it too), no matter the
source of the binaries, is just the right thing to do.

> Anyhow, now that we've been both venting our frustration a bit: As Joerg already pointed out, I'm completely fine with the patch he has prepared, and certainly do hope that distributions make use of it. I'm just disagreeing with the request that the Qt documentation need also state 'qmake6' everywhere, and that the Qt SDK (as provided by the online installer) needs to contain 'qmake6', too.

Well, it seems we will keep disagreeing for quite some time then :-)
