If you want your own sip, that's fine.  I suggest you also have your own python 
to install that sip in.  Then you should probably build your own PyQt on that 
new version of sip.
Is there a reason you need that version of sip?
Also, there is a SIP_INCLUDE_DIR cmake variable for pointing to a sip.h file.
