Update Qt5 to 5.7.1, and unify the Qt4 and Qt5 ports some more
* Update Qt5 to 5.7.1 * Move Qt4 binaries to lib/qt4/bin * Move Qt5 libraries to lib/qt5/lib By moving the libraries we should finally be able to get rid of the inplace upgrade bug (see ports bugs 194088, 195105 and 198720): when Qt5's libraries were lying in /usr/local/lib, which would often get added by pkgconfig to the linker paths via dependencies, the already installed libraries were linked against, instead of the ones that were being built. This forced us to make sure, that -L${WRKSRC}/lib was always coming before -L/usr/local/lib in the linker flags. With this change this should no longer be the case. * Rename some ports to match the rest (foo-qtX -> qtX-foo) * Depend on new port misc/qtchooser [see UPDATING & CHANGES] There are several new Qt5 ports which all have been created by Marie Loise Nolden <nolden@kde.org>. Thanks again. PR: 216797 Exp-Run by: antoine Reviewed by: rakuco, mat, groot_kde.org Approved by: rakuco (mentor) Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D9213

+ AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
+
+ Following what is already done in Qt 5, the Qt 4 ports no longer install
+ their binaries into ${LOCALBASE}/bin (which is "/usr/local/bin" in most
+ cases). Additionally, the "-qt4" suffix has been dropped from the file names
+ of the binaries that had it, such as "qmake-qt4".
+
+ The new misc/qtchooser port is now used to choose whether a Qt 4 or Qt 5
+ version of a binary such as "moc", "qmake" or "designer" will be used. By
+ default, the Qt 5 versions are preferred, but that can be changed by setting
+ the QT_SELECT environment variable to "qt4".
+
+ qtchooser also allows one to seamlessly use other Qt installations for those
+ binaries, which is particularly beneficial to people working on Qt itself or
+ who need their own checkouts.
+
+ See qtchooser(1) for more information on how to configure qtchooser.
