To the best of my knowledge, the only build system VTK supports cleanly
is CMake, which I understand to be generally popular in the Qt (or at
least KDE) community. Perhaps you could convince/help upstream to
migrate? https://sourceforge.net/projects/qmake2cmake/ might provide a
decent starting point.

Yes, but since you've arranged to avoid hardcoding the version, binNMUs
should at least suffice; you shouldn't need to be directly involved
unless there are incompatible API changes.
