First of all, Qt4 supports shadow builds properly now (srcdir != 
builddir), so the hack kdesvn-build has for Qt3 shadow builds can go.

Second, Qt4 can install cleanly. kdesvn-build could detect when the qtdir 
setting differs from the path qt-copy is at and pass the proper -prefix 
option, then install.

But I wouldn't make that option mandatory. Most people are used to not 
installing Qt after building it. In fact, here at Trolltech, I don't 
install any of my Qt builds.
