Great.

I think Qt5 needs a separate package from qt4, because many, many
things have changed in Qt5. Also Qt5 apparently requires an OpenGL
renderer, which wasn't the case in Qt4, so we will probably be keeping
Qt4 around for quite a while for low-end platforms.

Anyone willing to work on packaging Qt5 is definitely more than welcome
to contribute such effort.

Thanks!
