Qt5 is required

[Jeremy Whiting]

Just to clarify. that page about building qt5 builds the stable branch, and
in order to change to the dev branch we need to in each submodule do git
checkout -b dev origin/dev ? or is there some easy way to get all
submodules on the dev branch to build the dev version of all of qt5?  I
didn't find any argument to init_repository and setting qt5_tool.conf with
branch='dev' in ~/.config and using qt5_tool -p failed also.
