Will do.

After Pino's changes, I think we might need it after all.

We were talking about this and wondered: Do we want people to use qmake 
or qmake6 ? If we want them to use qmake6, we'll keep that file and link 
qmake to it.

I had looked at it and will give it a look again.

I just ran a testbuild of 6.2.0-rc2 and it builds without problems. Of 
course, the installed files still need to be sorted out and symbols need 
to be updated.
Seeing that 6.2.0 final is planned to be released on Thursday, I think we 
can squeeze 6.2.0 in. It should make packaging the other submodules 
easier, since we can jump to 6.2 instead of having to remain on 6.1.
