The problem is not Qt 4 vs 5: even within the same version there are
wide variations across platforms where things are installed. So none
of that auto-detection is going to go away.

Also if you want to use a custom build, just specify the relevant
CPPFLAGS/LDFLAGS/LIBS: the first test in libqt.m4 tries to compile
without any extra options to support exactly this use-case.
