Perl is required in the Qt build to generate the include dirs. It's the same
script that was in use in Qt 4.

The difference is that Qt 4 packages shipped with the include dir pre-generated
for you. It also came with the documentation pre-built. Twice even, which
meant that you had *three* copies of the documentation in the packages.

We do not want to ship generated files, since those increase the size of the
packages. If you want pre-built, just download the binary versions instead.

We've never included Perl. We're not about to start doing that.

Again: if you want generated files, download the fully-compiled Qt versions.
