just saying that the anaconda index literally has packages for "qt" itself,
the c++ library.
http://repo.continuum.io/pkgs/free/linux-64/qt-4.8.5-0.tar.bz2

and it's pyside packages require that.

my understanding is that you could build a pyside wheel that was statically
linked to qt.

as to whether a wheel could just package "qt".  that's what I don't know,
and if it could, the wheel spec doesn't cover that use case.
