The sentence about simultaneous installation of Qt 4 and Qt 5 was
referring to MacPorts, mentioned earlier in the paragraph
(http://trac.macports.org/ticket/44193). I'm sorry, I just wasn't
clear enough when I wrote that.

Sure, both Qt versions can easily be installed side-by-side outside of
the package manager, but then users need to compile gnuplot manually.
(I didn't check how Fink and HomeBrew deal with packaging.)

In any case the situation with gnuplot + wxt and qt on Mac is a lot
better than it used to be a few years ago.
