Our solution is a qmake shell script that invokes qmake with -spec for
the correct spec file.

Here we differ. We use:
  /opt/libqt32/bin		# Vendor-compiled binaries
  /opt/libqt32/lib		# Vendor-compiled libraries
  /opt/libqt32/bin/gcc32	# GCC 3.2.x-compiled binaries
  /opt/libqt32/lib/gcc32	# GCC 3.2.x-compiled libraries

We prefer this because *all* of Qt 3.2.x is in /opt/libqt32.
