move stuff yet again... Considerations which led to this decision are:

-it is important to be able to have the libraries in a place other than
 ${X11BASE}/lib or ${LOCALBASE}/lib.  Otherwise, the order of -Ldir matters
 when other programs link to the qt1 pkg.  If the order is wrong, the pkgs
 which use qt1 pick up libqt from this pkg and fail.  Since there are _many_
 pkgs (and probably programs being written by individual users) which fall
 in this catergory, I decided it was too error prone to simply require a
 certain order of -Ldir.  Additionally, it adds overhead to the maintainance
 of any pkgs which use qt.

-it is important to keep the name "qt" for the libraries because everyone
 expects to use "-lqt" (not "-lqt2").  This is true for many automatically
 generated (for example from kdevelop) makefiles.  The same is true for
 keeping the name "moc" instead of "moc2".

-it would be nice to not totally ignore hier(7) by simply creating
 ${X11BASE}/qt2/ and putting everything under that directory.

As a result of these considerations, the "final" resting place for the qt2
components are:
${X11BASE}/bin/qt2/
${X11BASE}/lib/qt2/
${X11BASE}/include/qt2/
${X11BASE}/man/qt2/{man1,man3}
${X11BASE}/share/doc/qt2/

Most programs can correctly find the required components by using
--with-qt-includes=${X11BASE}/include/qt2/
--with-qt-libraries=${X11BASE}/lib/qt2/
as configure arguments and setting the MOC environment variable to
${X11BASE}/bin/qt2/moc or putting ${X11BASE}/bin/qt2/ in the PATH.
This makes it relatively easy to maintain a pkg which uses qt2 since
these are set in the pkg Makefile instead of as a patch to the pkg.
