[Releasing] [Development] Qt5 binary installers

[simo.falt at nokia.com]

Moi,
Installer will ask the target dir while installing. By default is suggesting /home/user/QtSDK.
I do imagine that you should be able to install those in parallel. Just make sure that the paths are pointing to correct version while running.

Simo

Currently webkit+webkit-examples are the ones which do not compile. Mac binaries will be built as in src, but also from top level pro file. Configure + make for each submodule separately. Win binaries are built with the build perl script.

The SDK packaging scripts and configurations will be in qtrepotools. Once I get all nodes up an running I will start bootstrapping those directly from there. Currently those are updated manually. So as a summary, there is still lots of things to do but now there is at least something visible.
