This is the preferred way to do it, although sometimes you just can't work 
around a QTDIR being set. As most of it is just symlinks and data files, 
storing all that and adding symlinks as needed into /usr/share/qt3 is quite 
ok. Putting e.g. everyting into /usr/lib/qt3 would be what suse does and it's 
not separating the data clearly from the rest of Qt. /usr/share/qt3 gives 
that advantage but makes it still possible to use QTDIR through the symlinks 
to make all configure and qmake projects work.
