I'm not an expert on serpentine build systems either, alas--just providing what
guesses I can since everyone else seems to be equally Python-challenged.
The errors now bubbling up seem to be coming from cfgtest.cpp.  It's written
by another section of that script, by the check_class function 
(" def check_class . . .")  It's called in turn by check_module and check_plugin.
Some of the arguments passed to those functions are class names and include
directories.  Are all the calls to those looking for tq* and not q*?  The
Python script seems to have its own include directory tracking, and I'm not
sure how well it's integrated with CMake.

However, if this was building before, the problem may well be at the CMake
end.  Something isn't getting passed through.  The significant options for 
configure.py seem to be:
	-g dir  where the Qt qconfig.h file can be found [default Qt include directory]
	-l dir  the directory containing the VendorID header file
	-m dir  the directory containing the VendorID library
 	-n dir  the directory containing the QScintilla header files [default Qt include directory]
 	-o dir  the directory containing the QScintilla library [default Qt lib directory]
 	-q dir  the root directory of the Qt installation

Running "python configure.py -h" should give a more up-to-date version of that with
the defaults for -l, -m, -q properly indicated.  You're setting some of those, but not
all, IIRC.
