On openSUSE, I had to change qmake and moc to qmake-qt5 and moc-qt5,
respectively. But I don't think that it is a reason to call it fragile.
make xconfig works fine if qmake defaults to Qt4 (which seems to be the
predominant choice nowadays), but it will continue work once
distributions start preferring Qt5. I don't think users have such strong
preference as to which Qt version to build against. In the end, it's a
simple application with three windows and some buttons.
