Unable to build on Linux

Hi! PatternPaint was written against Qt 5.1.1, after they pulled QtSerialPort in as an official library:
http://qt-project.org/wiki/New-Features-in-Qt-5.1

The most direct route to running it in linux is to grab a modern version of Qt and build it from there:
http://qt.digia.com/product/Qt-Framework/IDE--Tools/

That's obviously not desirable from a compatibility standpoint, though. It would be excellent if it could work against an older version. For the serial port, I think all it needs is a pre-compiler check that determines the Qt version, and shifts the serial library references over to the external lib if the Qt version is below 5.1. I'm actually not sure if there are other issues running it against Qt 4- it might be a totally different animal in terms of API support. If you get anywhere with it, please let me know how it goes!

Fixed a couple of small issues in 7429db0. It seems to be building fine for m e in Ubuntu 14.4, using the qtcreator 3.0.1-0ubuntu4 package:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/trusty/qtcreator

If there are any other bugs please report them as new issues and we'll try to get them solved.
