Hi,

I just noticed that the configure script in qt module first checks for Qt4, 
and if not found checks for Qt5 (if the user did not manually supply a 
$qt_libdir).

Today, it seems to me that it would make more sense to invert the logic and 
first check for Qt5, because I think most people who have Qt5 also have Qt4 
for legacy applications, but it doesn't mean they want to compile MLT for 
Qt4.

So by inverting the pkg-config checks, if Qt5 is detected, it will compile 
against Qt5 and if not it will check for Qt4.

I could add a "--force-qt4" option for users that have both versions and 
want to compile against Qt4.

would that be ok for you ? It would allow most users to compile for Qt5 
without having to manually pass --qt-libdir and --qt-includedir

On second thought, maybe this would break existing automated build systems, 
so I could simple add a "--force-qt5" flag to bypass Qt4 detection?

(As a side note, I am also working on a fix for the qtblend compile problem 
on Qt5 < 5.2.0

regards
jb
