Qt static libraries - pkgconfig again

Qt has one static library that we use in KDE code: QtUiTools. Whichever 
reason the Trolls had to make it static is besides the point: it is 
static.

That means we must fetch its dependency info from the Qt installation into 
CMake. And Qt provides only one official way of doing that: via 
pkg-config.

So, I ask again: can we start supporting discovery of Qt via pkg-config by 
default on all systems? If that doesn't work, we'd have a fallback to the 
current discovery via qmake.
