[PyQt] TortoiseHG, newest PyQt4 and Sip error

[Sebastian Elsner]

The only configuration I could get to work is:

QScintilla 2.8.1 is being used.
PyQt 4.9.6 is being used.
Qt v4.8.6 free edition is being used.
SIP 4.14.7 is being used.

(output from QScintilla Python) on an up-to-date vanilla CentOS 6.5

Using the next higher minor release for sip (4.15.5) and PyQt (4.10.4) 
produced the error below.
