Essentials, by definition, cannot be subdivided. Make the installation unitary: 
all of them or none of them. Also, if possible, make the installation of any 
add-on trigger the Essentials installation.

Ditto.

I prefer the first option, with the default dropping the 5. The QtSDK should be 
able to install Qt 4 too.

For source and documentation, it needs a version number below:
c:\QtSDK\Source\5.0.0
c:\QtSDK\Source\5.0.1
c:\QtSDK\Documentation\5.0.0
c:\QtSDK\Documentation\5.0.1

For tools, it depends on what tools you're referring to.
