What has changed is that there are now a few classes outside
GUISupport that depend on Qt, so you could in theory turn those on
without compiling VTK_USE_GUISUPPORT. However, I don't think there is
a use case for this (others can correct me if I'm wrong), so I would
be fine with always turning VTK_USE_GUISUPPORT on if VTK_USE_QT is on,
as you suggest.

I just committed this fix:

Patch title (first comment line): ENH: Always turn gui support on when qt on.
