I just moved Minimyth2 to Qt5.4.1 and I must say it is impressive how 
Devs managed this transition!
So far I tested only frontend functions and ALL works perfectly (at 
least I wasn't able to discover broken FE functions by move to Qt5).
Next days I'll be preparing Qt5 packages for backend and will give test 
run for BE - but looking how well FE is working - I don't expect any 
problems with BE.
