Hi,

Just pointing to some relevant issues and discussions.

If the libraries will be built using their native build system instead of 
CMake, that will complicate the implementation of top-level builds, as well 
considerably slow down configuration time, because the 3rd party libs will need 
to be built and installed in some staging area before CMake can pick them up 
for Qt usage at configure time.
So qt5/configure would imply first running configure && make && make install 
for each 3rd party library.
