I like this idea, but not necessary for the Qt case. Somehow the qt-x11 and the qt-mac libraries are different downloads with different codebases. So in order to build USE="aqua X" you would have to essentially download and install two large archives. Possibly qt-mac and qt-x11 are even mutually exclusive, i.e. they are installed to the same place in the file system. Regards Dirk -- [email protected] mailing list
