I just realized that I forgot about the "debug" variations of  
libraries on OSX.  Kindof a neat mechanism so standard and debug  
copies can live side-by-side - add _debug to a library or framework  
name, and a special link flag will automatically link that variation.   
Not a big deal for libraries, but necessary for frameworks, since  
there is no flexibility in framework names otherwise.

So, I need to add an option to use the debug variations of the Qt  
frameworks.  But I'm not sure if -DQT_DEBUG requires the debug  
variations, or if it is useful on its own with the standard Qt  
frameworks.
