This is a separate topic, but I'd like to understand how.

I haven't seen Qt5 integrated, and the meta-qt5 package here
seems very much a work in progress:
	https://github.com/meta-qt5/meta-qt5

When I last tested (3-4 weeks ago), the various targets
would compile but didn't seem to have proper installation
(_install) targets, which required manual installation of
each.

Right. In the qt4 case, you'd first set your environment with the SDK 
'environment-setup-' helper script. This will place the target-specific
qmake into your PATH.

 From what I can tell, these are the recipes that do the work and that
will need equivalents for Qt5:
