There are some projection related fixes and other cleanups from Magnus
and others in 0.8 which should affect all platforms.

Im pretty sure this isnt the problem since I only have the dmg install
on my system and no othere Qt stuff anywhere else. I kinda wanted to
keep my system clean and avoid any post install hacks on Qt to make
things work - hence my interenst in cmake. Also since we are not sure
how long 0.8.x is going to be around I thought it might be nice to
have the cmake build process available for developers wanting to use
cmake since in my opinion the build process is much simpler and
cleaner using cmake (not to mention faster).

I will try diffing the various cmake files to see if I can spot any
mac fixes in trunk that didnt make it into Magnus's backport to 0.8.
