[PyQt] PyQt and Qt build and install overview

[Scott Frankel]

I've just upgraded PyQt & Qt versions and took the opportunity to  
document the process.  While there's no substitute for the detailed  
build and installation instructions that come with each package in  
their README files, I find that a simple list is a handy companion.   
To that end, and to provide a high-level overview for the next time I  
upgrade, I wrote the following.  I share it with the list in the hopes  
that someone else might find it useful also.

MacBook Pro (Intel)
