I figured that as long as things are upwardly-compatible, and it remains
with the old shlibs for old packages, I didn't think I should have to
change it.

I can always fiddle with -install_name if I have to, but I didn't think
I had to remain backwards compatible with old versions of my packages,
that would be a maintainability nightmare.  As long as you can continue
using it going forward, I would have thought it would be OK.

Although, I suppose we would have to change versioned deps on anything
that wants Qt, if we wanted a bindist to be internally consistent.

I guess I'll change the -libdir in configure  :)
