How to set up shadow builds on OS X and Linux
Qt has a wonderful option: you can build Qt depending on your need from the same source code in many different flavors.
It come with a -prefix option in its configure script, which will allow you to install Qt in a directory of your choice. E.g. if you want to build a different version of Qt with or without webkit, you can do so by using the -no-webkit option in configure and by defining a different installation path using -prefix.
This way you build different versions of Qt on your development machine from the same source code.
Unfortunately, this option is not available on Windows.
