DONE as of revision 13112 (including all the epa_build updates
required to build Qt5 and comprehensively test it with PLplot).  The
only Qt5 issue left that I am aware of is pyqt4 which currently is
automatically disabled for the Qt5 case. Note, I didn't try testing
pyqt4 because I thought it would be Qt4-only just from the name.  But
I don't know that is the case. Anyhow, someone else with pyqt
expertise will have to investigate this issue.

Indeed, I am now done with all the PLplot projects I have planned for
this release cycle other than the adjustment of all our scripts from
using svn tools to using the equivalent git tools just before we
release. But obviously that release will be much later after I do the
two projects outside of PLplot that I mention above, Hazen converts
our repository to git, and we all have a chance to settle in to use
git routinely with PLplot development. However, during my time away
from PLplot development I will be monitoring this list in case there
are any short questions I can help with, and I also will be asking my
own questions about git here from time to time as I get up to speed
with it.
