Just want to give a short update on qt 4.1.1.  I reworked the spell
that was in devel to install along side of qt 3.3.5.  As far as I can
tell it works.  I was able to build psi 0.11-beta1 and all of its
dependencies which require qt4.  Those spells are now in devel also. I
was also able to still build the qt3 version of psi.  Though the spell
probably needs some one else to take a look before moving to test.  I
installed the binaries for qt4 in /usr/bin/qt4.  They have the same
names as the binaries for qt3. The critical one is qmake.  In order to
build a program that requires qt4, you have to mod the configure to
make sure it finds the qt4 version of qmake in /usr/bin/qt4.  I did
this for qca2, qca-openssl and psi 0.11-beta1.  I tried do to it using
PATH, but couldn't get it to work and ended up using a sedit on the
configure file. Not sure if there is a better way or not. At least the
three spells check for qt4 in the same way.  Qt4 doesn't use QTDIR any
more like qt3.

That is about all that I know about it.  I am sure it needs much more
testing.
