Okay, I've checked in a series of changesets ending with 15297:2f0b74cf8b4d which should have addressed all the known configuration problems with the GUI.  If new ones arise they can be reported individually.

The configure script needs tests for the presence of and specific functions/classes needed from the Qt and QScintilla libraries when building the Octave GUI.

Currently there are no tests for the Qt libraries at all, only the Qt development tools qmake, moc, uic, and rcc.

See the following mailing list threads I've collected for some examples of build problems people have run into so far that configure should be able to address:
