Sweet.  Now to make sure it works without using use-qt-builddir-hack. ;)

Well I didn't plan on making it an option to be honest, just "intelligently" 
detecting whether the user has chosen a qtdir different from qt-copy's build 
directory.

i.e.

< Using qt-copy  |  qtdir setting   |     kdesvn-build action    >
------------------------------------------------------------------
       Yes       |   ${build-dir}   |  Use -prefix, don't install
       Yes       | Not ${build-dir} |  Use -prefix, install
        No       |      n/a         |           n/a
