$$(FOO) would automatically split the contents of the environment
variable at whitespace (and interpret quoting inside it). the way to
prevent the splitting (but not the quote interpretation) would be using
"$$(FOO)".
this behavior is entirely unexpected and thus an incredibly effective
source of quoting problems - according to a grep over the whole qt
sources, there isn't a single case where things were done right. in qt
creator, well over half the cases are wrong.
also, the "feature" seems entirely pointless: nobody uses spaces as
separators in environment variables.
consequently, simply remove it, even in a patch release. i'm postulating
that nobody will complain.

That resulted in error such as:
qobject_impl.h(82) : error C2078: too many initializers
This should have been tested by tst_QObject::connectManyArguments, but
the test did not work because the detection of defined QMetaType was broken
for const references. That will be fixed in a latter commit.
