11 I like this idea, but not necessary for the Qt case.
12 Somehow the qt-x11 and the qt-mac libraries are different downloads with
13 different codebases.
14 So in order to build USE="aqua X" you would have to essentially download
15 and install two large archives.
16 Possibly qt-mac and qt-x11 are even mutually exclusive, i.e. they are
17 installed to the same place in the file system.
