--- Comment #5 from Kevin Kofler <kevin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ---
To sum up the discussion we just had on IRC:

Basically, what's the most inadequate about qtchooser is the concept that the
USER should pick his Qt version, as opposed to the build system of the software
he wants to build. This major design mistake shows clearly from the design, see
my complaints in comment #1 about how there's no reasonable way for the build
script to set the Qt version with qtchooser.

As for the proposed compromise in comment #3, the main thing I don't understand
is what would be the benefit of doing:
1. Prepend /usr/lib(exec?)/qtchooser to PATH.
2. Select your Qt version in qtchooser.
over just:
1. Prepend /usr/lib/qt(version)/bin directly to PATH.
which is much simpler, does not require us to package any flawed utility, and
has exactly the same effect.
