I think it would make sense to change the order: Qt5 first, then Qt4.
I do not think a "--force" option is necessary. User can manually specify Qt
using qt_libdir.

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
