I have successfully built and run QGIS on Mac off of Homebrew dependencies
of pyqt, sip, qwt, qwtpolar, qscintilla2 and qca specifically configured
for Qt 5 and Python 3.

This also means, after some further work, we will be able to upgrade the
Mac Travis CI setup for testing both Qt4/PyQt4/Py2 and Qt5/PyQt5/Py3, as is
currently available for Linux.

That's great news Larry - nice work!

I'm curious: how does the test suite look on these qt5 Mac builds? What's
failing?
