I have been thinking how to do that.. so there are still some open issues:

* on the breeze repo we install the qtcurve setup (i am not sure if we can be 
sure it's installing it in the proper location for both qt4 and qt5 versions 
tough)

* making the breeze config for qtcurve default

* making qtcurve default for both kde4 and kf5

* install the color scheme in the kf5 *and* kde4 proper folders, that are 
different

* make the breeze color scheme default in both kf5 and kde4

soooo, ideas on how to solve those points?
(perhaps writing a kde4 application that does those configure changes?)
