A problem with this is that it defeats the (small) reason why qmake
puts that -L/system/path in: it's because that is the path for the qt
libraries themselves.  If someone were to install qt somewhere unusual
(it's not unusual to have fun with anyone), this Makefile modification
will preclude linking to it (it's not unusual to see me cry).  It
seems more of an ordering problem - that -L should go just before the
-lqt bits (whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh).
