Subject: [PATCH 2/2] gnu: qt: Fix install paths in submodules.

Before this, the paths in pkg-config (.pc) and libtool (.la) files of
submodules are all pointing to qtbase.

* gnu/packages/qt.scm (qtsvg)[arguments]: Use a customized qt.conf to
override install paths to $out.

This fixes the pkg-config files of various qt submodules, and gets vlc
built.


I think remaining non-KDE things to fix are qt-utils.scm, sddm,
greenisland and cool-retro-term.
