Details:

I'm offering a slight modification here to configure.ac that enables it to
locate Qt libraries when 1) installed as frameworks instead of a standard
library set, and 2) installed in a non-standard location, as is the case with
Homebrew.

The proper linker flags for my installation of Qt, for instance, is


-F/usr/local/Cellar/qt/4.8.5.lib -framework QtCore -framework QtGui -framework
QtNetwork


but the pkg-config commands in configure will never actually spit out those
flags, so QT_LDFLAGS and QT_LIBS remain blank, and the library is not used. 

This corrects that limitation by changing the way pkg-config is called for Qt.
I am using a case statement here so that the change only applies to Darwin.
