Hi,

Building QWE 5.9.3 on Linux (with my LinuxPorts hack) I ran into a conflict 
situation with an installed port:protobuf-cpp : QWE includes its own copy of 
protobuf v3.x but cannot apparently be prevented from picking up headers from 
the installed older port.

I see that mcalhoun already bumped his Qt5 port to 5.10 (yay...) but don't have 
reason to think that QWE 5.10 would be any different in this aspect.

This kind of situation could ultimately give a strong reason to implement 
support for -dev subports (even in a suboptimal way like the devport PortGroup 
I submitted as a PoC a while back).

FWIW: protobuf-cpp isn't the only port concerned here, I also ran into the same 
kind of conflict with the port:openssl headers.

R.
