Hmm, I'll have to try qt.conf again. I'd really prefer this to the
qpatch hack I'm using now. The main reason I punted on this
was that when I use qt.conf, then tried to build Qt Creator
against my Qt build, it would always barf when trying to locate
moc. It always looked in the original Qt build dir.
