Qt terminal doesn't work on Mac OS X, but I don't know if you plan to
fix this before 4.6 on not.

There are at least the following issues:
- configure script is unable to find Qt (it should be easy enough to
check for at least one more default location; I don't know how to work
with autotools, but I can tell which flags are needed)
- MOC and UIC are set to an empty string; here "moc" and "uic"
commands work fine, but I don't know why configure script doesn't find
them
- if I fix the two above, qt terminal compiles fine, but I cannot plot anything:


Terminal type set to 'qt'

(I'm willing to provide information and test, but I don't know how to
write patches for configure scripts.)
