So I end up doing a git pull, clean and rebuild every day. I want to put 
the steps into a OS X shell script and run it every night. But how do I 
skip the step where configure asks for the type of license? I added 
-opensource option but it still waits for a yes/no input.

Here's the script:

----
#!/bin/sh
cd /qt
git clean -f
git pull
make confclean
./configure -opensource -debug-and-release -arch "x86 ppc x86_64" 
-nomake demos -nomake examples -nomake translations
make
sudo make -j1 install
----

I am fine with the wait for su password at the end since I will just 
type it in in the morning and the install is fast enough.
