Requirements on Mac OS X
------------------------

On Mac OS X you'll need gcc (not a symlinked clang, as it complains about `-std=c++11`), and
must specify the `CXX`, `PKG_CONFIG_PATH`, and `CGO_CPPFLAGS` environment variables.
On Mac OS X you'll need QT5. It's easiest to install with Homebrew, a
third-party package management system for OS X.

Something along these lines should be effective:
Installation instructions for Homebrew are here:

$ brew tap homebrew/versions
$ brew install gcc48 qt5
http://brew.sh/

$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=`brew --prefix qt5`/lib/pkgconfig
$ QT5VERSION=`pkg-config --modversion Qt5Core`
$ CXX=g++-4.8 go get gopkg.in/qml.v0
Then, install the qt5 and pkg-config packages:

$ brew install qt5 pkg-config

Then, force brew to "link" qt5 (this makes it available under /usr/local):

$ brew link --force qt5

And finally, fetch and install go-qml:

$ go get gopkg.in/qml.v0

For Mac OS X Mavericks you may need to use `brew install qt5 --HEAD` and check that QT5VERSION
is something reasonable like `5.2.0`, `ls /usr/local/Cellar/qt5/HEAD/include/QtCore/ | grep '^5'`
should also work.
