Ulrich has just updated gsl, so thanks to him for that.

Nothing is wrong. Qt 4 source code is one monolithic git repo and distributed
as single tarball. Modularization was introduced in Qt 5. In MXE, the "qt"
package is Qt 4 simply because it was there first. When the Qt 5 was added to
MXE, the separate modules meant that there was no name clash with the existing
"qt" package. Qt 4 and Qt 5 are installed to seperated directories in MXE,
"qt" and "qt5" respectively, so they can happily co-exist.

We currenlty have the 5.0.2-rc1 of the Qt 5 modules. This might be less
obvious than it should be because the files names don't contain the "-rc1".
It's in the download URL in the .mk files though.
