[CMake] Testing Qt 5 RC 1 CMake files

[Clinton Stimpson]

I took a peek at building it earlier with Qt5.

I started making changes and one of the more surprising ones was that 
#include <QtGui/QWidget>
pulled in my Qt4 QWidget from /usr/include/QtGui/QWidget.
Instead of Qt5's QtWidgets/QWidget.  That led to confusing linker errors.

I got as far as trying to build some examples, but many of the examples seem 
to be broken.  Does anyone know if the master branch has become stable and 
whether functionality and examples have been restored since the start of the 
breaking modularization changes months ago?
I stopped when I saw these kinds of build problems.
