When I said that you would only have to do the symlinks once, then  
future Qt updates would not need a new symlink, I meant that you  
should symlink the unversioned library. If you symlink, the versioned  
library, you're back to updating the symlink every time you update Qt,  
just like you would have to if you copied the lucene library.  Do your  
symlinks as:

sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/libQtCLucene.dylib /Developer/SDKs/ 
MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/lib
sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/libQtCLucene.dylib /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/ 
usr/lib


But, this may be a false lead as far as it affects Qgis.  CLucene is  
only used in QtHelp, as far as I can tell, and this is not used in Qgis.

So, I repeat my earlier suggestion, when you get SIP/PyQt 4.5  
compiled: try the Xcode project build for Qgis (trunk only).  It isn't  
affected by cmake not finding the newer PyQt, if that is still a  
problem.  But also, there is a problem with Qt plugins and Qgis+python  
on OSX, and Qt frameworks *must* be bundled - the Xcode project takes  
care of this.  Be aware that the Xcode project is manually configured,  
for now.

I don't want to mess around with my Qt installation right now, so I  
can't test Qt 4.5 with Qgis, but others have tried it.
