Nice idea, but the order used so far makes sure the newest qt-version is
found. If we want to allow symbolic links to tools of the desired
qt-version I would suggest to introduce a name that is not used by qt
itself, i.e.

  for ac_prog in octave-moc moc-qt5 moc-qt4 moc

Then, octave-moc is the name of the link to the qt-version to use.
