should (uhm, might) point to the proper mkspecs subdir.

I already have the platform option set, if I don't set it, it displays the
message about it needing to be set.

On make qt #16?, I think I have Qt compiling now - it looks like where qt
looks for the mkspec folder follows the -prefix option rather than using the
mkspec folder it uses in configure and (I assume?) will be copied during the
install.

The last make qt got to the point of linking QtCore4 and then failed as it
couldn't link in libpng, and looked like configure isn't setting it to look
in the correct place for it, so I've got it compiling again I hope this time
with settings to pull the libpath correctly.
