[Eric] Install eric6 on Mint 17.1

[Detlev Offenbach]

Hi,

if both Qt variants are present, eric prefers Qt5. Unfortunately the version is too old on Mint 
17.1. You can force the install script to use PyQt4/Qt4 by using the commandline parameter '--
pyqt=4' (i.e. python3 install.py --pyqt4=4).

Regards,
Detlev
