I'm far from a Homebrew expert, but here's what I have observed:
1) `brew install wireshark` does NOT install an application bundle.
2) `brew install --with-qt wireshark` DOES install an app bundle, built with
QT4.
3) `brew install --with-qt5 wireshark` DOES install an app bundle, built with
QT5.
`brew linkapps wireshark` is currently required to make the app bundle
available in /Applications.
And in case anyone else is unaware like I was, in all the above cases a
`/usr/local/bin/wireshark` executable is built, but running that executable
directly can result in bugs that do not occur when invoking Wireshark via app
bundle, for example:

Could you please clarify this point? Are you saying that it's necessary to
specify BOTH --with-qt and --with-qt{4,5} when running Wireshark's configure?
Thanks!
