actually, i saw something about 14.10 having Qt5.3 and i think 5.3.1 but...

yeah, we used to play the chase game but it was much too much trouble so we went 
with the LTS releases and we stick to them until their end... being a BOfH is so 
much nicer and fulfilling like this ;) O:)

yes, we did figure out that this is a define so we added 
"-DENABLE_FGQCANVAS=off" to the FG_CMAKEARGS line at the top of the dnc 
script... it is easily removed if james wants to pursue the make files and get 
them right so that the FGQCANVAS doesn't continue to break things at the (at 
least) configure stage... seems like a (and i am not a make file majician) 
normal "IFDEF ELSE ENDIF" type thing should be able to avoid this...

FWIW: as we don't know cmake (or even plain old make) we don't know if false, 
off, 0 and no are all viable options... since we use "yes" for another option, 
we would prefer to use "no" for this one for consistency instead of 'off'...
