See?  In general, I would like install-build-deps.sh to be
independent of the people who package wine.   Think of
it as perhaps the upstream of build-dep.

Hmm, I'm not really sure how the qt stuff snuck in there.
I guess libqt3-mt-dev was in the build deps when I started.
I'll try removing all the qt stuff and see what happens.
