Qt2 will not change from /usr/share/qt. There is no way I am going to
break backwards compatability. By changing this it would break the builds
of anything in stable as well as any 3rd party applications. Not going to
do it. The old can stay with the old way. It won't conflict with what
we are doing with the new since we are moving away from /usr/share/qt.
