It's still annoying to have to create this file, though it's admitedly a minor
pain.

*I* didn't talk about building twice ;-) A typical Qt build is around 5GB, I
need at least 3 builds for different compilers, multiply that by different
Qt releases needed (3 for now), that's close to 40GB, add to all these the
"experimental builds" (Qt5)... Building each twice for a mere path problem
would be insane ;-) I know hard drives are rather cheap nowadays but hey...

qt.conf is fine (a minor pain) to distribute an app, while it's close to useless
whan needing to distribute pre-compiled Qt binaries to developers - but that's
another
story we already talked about.

Which is not fine at all and a major pain.
