Re: On using different library name when building for qt5

Well, in general I do not like to have local builds being installed in 
the same places as being used by the distros. Actually I have more 
versions of Qwt being installed, that one for Qt4 and one for Qt5.

So I want to keep the policy to install into different directories, what 
makes having different library names unnecessary. Distros have their 
patches anyway.

But if you like to change qwtLibraryTarget/qwtAddLibrary to make an 
optional suffix possible I will have a look at it.

When working on these functions please try to use
qtLibraryTarget/qtPlatformTargetSuffix if possible.
See: https://github.com/uwerat/qskinny/blob/master/features/qskfunctions.pri

I'm not sure when those had been introduced, but if it was after Qt 4.4 
you need to keep the old code for earlier versions of Qt.
