The reason for installing tqtinterface to /usr is because of the many automake scripts are hard-coded to that location.

That is, the Trinity version of libart_lgpl is merely a patched replacement for a stock package and that location must not change or other things in the distro depending upon libart_lgpl would break.

What is the basic problem with the TDE build system that it has trouble finding
things if they are not in some special place? I guess the over-arching question
is what do we need to do to both the cmake and autotools setups so that they can
find what they need no matter where it is installed?

What is the 'right' solution? Let's just get that sorted and implemented so we
can get rid of all the Russian Roulette 'will it build?' questions....

If the fix will take lots of effort, let's just divide and conquer. It will be
worth it in the long run...
