Yes, I know, but I can't ignore them.
When trying to build something in e.g. tier1/ standalone, I don't have the 
kdelibs environment around.
So if it uses something from libinqt5, it must find the installed libinqt5, 
same for qtmimetypes and for kdeqt5staging.

The current situation is really quite complicated for the buildsystem, we have 
four ways to build:
* Qt4, all in one
* Qt4, standalone
* Qt5, all in one
* Qt5, standalone

Getting and then keeping them all four working at the same time is hard.
