error compiling gwenhywfar for qt5

at least include a valid plain text version)

Yes - that would work, but it's not that simple for me.  When I compile  
gwenhywfar, I don't just want it to use qt5, I want it to know about  
both qt4 and qt5, as I currently have clients that need both.  The  
gwenhywfar ./configure is indeed able to do that, and I think my  
response in the other thread gave the core parameters I needed to use,  
but I'm pretty sure there is a "less ugly" way than what I ended up  
with.
