Responding to my own post

I created a qmake4-native bb that installs qmake and the mkspecs into 
the native staging dir.  For the time being, I am still using the uic 
and moc installed by the current qtopia-core package.  I updated the 
mkspec file from the original qtopia-core to point to the correct moc 
and uic, and install it with qmake-native, along with the rest of the 
mkspecs.

I also created three new classes: qmake4-base, qmake4, and qtopia.  As 
stated previously, I did not want to screw up any existing qte/qmake builds.

Creating a package was was easy as you stated above.  I simply inherit 
qmake4 and qtopia, and everything built and ran!

Thanks for the help.  I haven't investigated checking anything in yet, 
but I will tomorrow.  In the meantime, if anyone would like to see the 
new files, let me know.  I don't want to clutter the message board 
needlessly...

I also though that maybe the qtopia-core build should be modified to 
only install the libs, and the bins can be broken out (like they appear 
to be in previous releases).  If so, I am happy to do this, as it lined 
up with what I am currently trying to accomplish.
