Details:

The configure script needs tests for the presence of and specific
functions/classes needed from the Qt and QScintilla libraries when building
the Octave GUI.

Currently there are no tests for the Qt libraries at all, only the Qt
development tools qmake, moc, uic, and rcc.

See the following mailing list threads I've collected for some examples of
build problems people have run into so far that configure should be able to
address:
