libQtAssistant.a is a library that includes only one class, named 
QtAssistantClient. Its purpose is to permit to launch the Qt Assistant, with 
special communication features between the application and the Assistant.
However, the implementation of it QtAssistantClient searches assistant in the 
$PATH, and not in the Qt directory.

An application compiled with libQtAssistant will launch "assistant" from the 
path.

I do not know if there already exist some third-party application compiled 
with libQtAssistant. qtdemo uses it. On my system, there are two problems:
  - if qt4-devel is not installed, the Qt4 assistant is not installed,
  - my $PATH does not contain /usr/lib64/qt4/bin, and the Qt3 assistant is 
launched instead of the Qt4 one. And it fails to display the documentation 
(not in the adequate format).

The libQtAssistant should search for "assistant4", which is in %{_bindir}/.

That's why IMHO, if the qt4 package ships libQtAssistant.a, the assistant tool 
should be move from qt4-devel to qt4 itself, or to a special small package 
qt4-assistant (like qt4-config), as its normal use requires qt4-doc.
