I'm thinking in terms of a multi-user environment, i.e. if multiple 
people/accounts are using one machine for qt/pi dev, then they may/will 
interfere with eachothers builds, whereas keeping it in ~ means they can 
poke, prod and tweak to their hearts content.

I'm trying to write a script that takes a beginner from nothing all the 
way to fully (or as full as possible) cross compiled qt5 that they can 
use to develop for their Pi (basically scripting what's in the begginers 
guide in the wiki). I want to do this in as safe a way as possible, thus 
the multi-user stuff. It also has the benefit of requiring root/sudo 
less (in theory, with the prefix in ~ sudo make install can become make 
install for qmake). Still needs sudo for mounting and installing files 
to the image at the moment though.
