It will take some one that knows much more about building qt
programs then me. Seems like it will be more difficult since I am only
telling config where to find the correct file.  I am not sure where and
how many times qmake is called during the build process.

I saw some forum messages where people where calling a script prior to
building a qt4 program and changing the names of all the binaries
depending on what version they wanted to use to build. This didn't seem
like such a great idea to me since you would be all changing names in
the /usr/bin directory directly from a spell.
