Hmmm, checked here, there's no "uic" utility, so this is sadly
inconsistent. These work, however:


$ /usr/bin/uic3 -version
Qt User Interface Compiler version 4.8.7
$ /usr/bin/uic-qt5 -version
uic-qt5 5.13.2
$ /usr/bin/uic-qt4 -version
Qt User Interface Compiler version 4.8.7

uic3 is the only one that does not recognize -v as a synonym for -version.

still, we can probably come up with a query formula that would work...
