Carbon is deprecated for a long time by Apple and current Qt builds are not 
possible
anymore for a long time. See http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/developing-on-mac.html for 
a
detailed overview. Qt4 is the latest release supporting Carbon. Furthermore the 
final
4.8 versions didn’t compile anymore on my current system (Mac OS X 10.11.6).

I’ve built the alpha1 disk image with Cocoa only because of missing my old build
environment at the moment. I think it is a good test to see if a Carbon build is
really useful anymore.
