[Paraview] Why does paraview want to install its own duplicate of QT libraries?

[François Bissey]

Hi,

I am trying to update the ebuild for the gentoo linux distribution.
My current process died at install time:

-------------------------------------------
There are several issues in this simple log:
-First the install procedure for the QT libraries doesn't seem to respect the 
DESTDIR variables.
-Second why the heck do you want to have a copy of the QT libraries provided 
by the system inside the paraview library folder? It was not needed by 
paraview 3.6.x and if it is needed now, it means something is seriously 
broken.
