Please use the same code and formatting as sued for qtsvg. This helps
keeping the code consistent.

I suggest to put this into *two* new phases: `patch-source` (or so)
containing the substitute stuff, and `setup-configure` for setting the
environment variables.

I suggest *not* using `format`, as we rarely use it in substitutes and
you are using `string-append` anyway. I also suggest to define a
variable `out` to be used here (same for `nss`, `udev` below) to avoid
having `assic-ref` here, see [0] as an example. Then `format` might even
be beneficial:

+                  (format #f
"QLatin1String(\"~a/share/qt5/translations\")" out)

+                  (string-append "QLatin1String(\"" out
"/share/qt5/translations\")")

Would setting `#:configure-flags` with "-DBUILD_TESTS=off" (see e.g.
[1]) work, too, instead of passing "QT_BUILD_PARTS"?
