I do think we should support Qt 5.11 on 2.3.x because 2.3.x will
probably be around for a while. But it would be nice to avoid breaking
in stable the building with older CMake versions.

The main question is: Is it possible to support building LyX Qt 5.11 for
those who have CMake >= 3.1.0, but still allow building LyX with a
previous Qt version for those who might have an older CMake? Would this
be a lot of extra work? If this would be a lot of extra work, I would
just say to do whatever you think is best, Kornel.

By the way, is 1bf4d7b needed because of the changes from the other
commits referenced? I thought it was a separate issue.
