There is no convention. In Qt2 times an 'e' was appended to libqt. For Qt4 we 
(in OpenEmbedded) are using the library infix to append the E as we are 
supporting both QtX11 and QtEmbedded.

Qt4x11 should be already in that list. So the basic problem with "appending" 
'E' to the list is that it will not be used when Qt4X11 was already staged.

To summarize. I'm not aware of any other distro that allows to install Qt4/X11 
and Qt4/Embedded Linux. We are doing something that the KDE/CMake developers 
have not seen as it doesn't exist on the desktop.

The fix should include externally forcing FindQt4 to use X11 or EmbeddedLinux 
depending on the config.
