That is because qmake will tell you where everything else is (includes, libs,
etc). The problem comes about when different versions get mixed in together.
We've already seen this when KDE4 apps don't use the new style headers
(<QWidget> versus <qwidget.h>). I have also seen this on a customer's system,
where the build was trying to link to both Qt 4.1 and 4.3.
Trolltech recommends keeping different versions separate.
