Bug#656793: Port the Qt4 patch from cmake to autoconf

[Reinhard Tartler]

Package: dvbcut

See the forwarded mail from the upstream below. In order to get the
Qt4 patch submitted upstream properly, upstream requested to have it
ported to autoconf.

Well, what's "blessed," as you call it, is the Qt3/autoconf combination.

Qt4/autoconf would be okay, too, as long as everybody is aware that
there's no way back once I incorporate the patch, and that the Qt3
version is effectively dead and buried at the same time.

It must also work on Windows/MinGW, as the Qt3 port does. Let's not
forget that there are more operating systems than just Linux and its
derivatives.
