It should be ready to go.  See the e-mail I just posted.

For the cmake/epa_build subproject of PLplot, I actually configure a
working build of a "lite" version of Qt4 that in the interest of speed
excludes a lot from the Qt4 build that PLplot does not need.  So it
should not be too much of a stretch to do the same thing for Qt5.  But
configuring a Qt build is always a bit tricky so that just adds one
more possibility for stuff to go wrong. So I plan to wait until Andrew
and you have PLplot success with well-debugged versions of the Qt5
build before I try using an epa_build of Qt5.
