Technical this could be solved by incrementing the so number of the
library. Recent Qt4 based releases provides libalkimia4,Q5 based
libalkimia6. New releases supporting Qt4 and Qt5 will be named
libalkimia7 (Qt4) and libalkimia5_7 or libalkimia57 (Qt5).

Unless I am missing something (which is quite possible) once you make
this change, one version or the other is going to have to change the
name of it's header, pkgconfig, and cmake files, and any user of that
version will also have to adapt. It's not just keeping the .so and
version numbers different. I agree the necessary changes are not
difficult - it is just important that the change is made clear, so
anyone who uses that version knows about the change.
