Thomas,

I have for some time now, and will continue to, build and run master on
my 12.04 LTS systems with several patches that restore support for Qt
4.8.  (I'll probably build a new box for 16.04 LTS and migrate then).
There's no loss of functionality, although the 'New Image Gallery' has
minor limitations.  It's possible to support Qt 4.6 (for plain Centos 6)
with these changes.

Would there be any point in folding the patches into 1 and adding it to
master - they don't change anything for Qt5 and there's no real long
term support issue?
