Nice work!
BTW, Luis seems to have some cmake scripts for handling qt4/qt5, will

The name of the library and the headers are changed a bit when USE_QT5

This will introduce problems for other components.

Looks OK, but will it be better if we can use portable header names
instead of lots of #ifdef and <lxqt5/xxx.h>?
