I cannot understand your point. You can suggest your solution what will be
Mac-specific and will be a good compromise between configurability and not
needing qtconfig, I do not have Qt apps on mac so I do not see any issues with
them, I will not be able to help you with your arguments in this case.
What I'm talking about is that Qt5 has configurability regression in
comparison to Qt4, but I have no warm feeling for qtconfig, and if upstream
developers do not want it - there should be another way to fix it, that will
provide good compromise for both parties.
