+     available on your system (from Apple) but are required in newer versions
+     built by Homebrew: autoconf, automake, libtool, libffi (maybe others).
+     Without linking "libffi" for example, the check for pygobject3 will fail.
+   - We currently hardcode the build to use Qt 5.5 (not the latest available
+     version) in order to remain compatible with some older Mac OS X versions.
