I think using a symlink will end up in a more FHS like filesystem. where 
all, also QT,KDE,..., libraries/header/... are in proper locations under 
/usr/lib,/usr/include,... . having /usr/qt and others is for me the 
first step to make a "windows-like" filesystem. As network admin, you 
don't need an extra mount entry for /usr/qt/3/lib, but only for 
/usr/lib. (if bins,libs,shares are mounted seperately which might happen 
in networks with several archs...)
