[PySide] 1.2.1 build failure OS X

Found it!

Homebrew has a non-default QTDIR, and pyside-setup does not find that out
from alone, although it could do that.

The quick work-around is

export QTDIR=$HOMEBREW_PATH/Cellar/qt/4.8.5/

and then do your build.

Actually this should not be necessary at all, because there is a variable
QT_INSTALL_HEADERS
with exactly that information. See the output of

$ qmake -query

pyside-setup just does not use this and takes some heuristics.
I will build a small patch that fixes this.

cheers - chris
