This seems an awful lot of messing around when qt-project.org already 
dump all the debug and release libraries into the installation bin 
directory so all you need is to ensure that the installation bin 
directory is on your PATH when you run or debug executables, just like 
you have to to build using the tools like moc, qmake, dumpcpp, qrc, etc..

IMHO put he Qt bin directory on PATH for debugging and use BundleUtils 
FixupBundle to make deployable kits. No need to do any manual or 
scripted copying of libraries at all.
