Yep I saw that in the tools recipe, makes sense there. I will see about 
adjusting the inc files for Qt4 itself.

I was just curious really. I can imagine there are commercial users of it out 
there still, and if we want to bring in an "end-user" app that requires it 
then of course we would need to bring it across also. A cursory search of OE 
brings up at least this list:

 * asterisk
 * balsa
 * gpe
 * prismstumbler
 * txdrug

Of those, I think the only ones of real concern for meta-openembedded are gpe 
and prismstumbler (balsa and asterisk can apparently be built using sqlite3, 
assuming there are no problems converting existing databases.)

Cheers,
Paul
