As pointed out, I would have preferred a brief %description or README.Fedora
as a quickstart rather than examining package contents and trying to figure
out whether something is is the right way to do it and not only a work-around.
It could also have been that setting environment variables would be _the_
way to point Qt detection configure scripts at the right places.

Obviously, adjusting $PATH is what I've done as a work-around, albeit not using
the RPM macro, because I only looked in /etc/rpm because I always forget about
the new directory.

It could have been more convenient to use the rpms. That's all!

I mentioned a "helper script" based on the assumption that there might
be more environment variables that need adjustment. ;-)
