Qt versions from 4.4 onward are expected to work.

Oh, that's interesting (and bad news for us). How ... very wierd. I don't
have access to a 10.9 machine, but from searching the webs it looks like we
might be able to disable this with:
"defaults write com.sgi.pkg.pcp NSAppSleepDisabled -bool YES"
or ... hmm, actually more likely:
"defaults write com.aconex.pkg.pcp-gui NSAppSleepDisabled -bool YES"
Is that anything like the approach you took?
It may be possible for us to flick that switch by default, via one of the XML
files that builds the Mac packages - perhaps build/mac/installer-info? Could
you try a build (in the git tree, its "./Makepkgs --verbose") and experiment
with changes in that file? (I'm just guessing here, but maybe it will work)
cheers.
