possible,
but IMHO that would require extra work that is better put elsewhere.
From experience, the #ifdefs can be a pain, especially when the source
changes are as huge as Qt3 to Qt4. So we should maintain a Qt4 only
branch. It is a little bit work, but I think the payoffs are much
better.
Also, I would like to aim for a Qt4 release around the same time as
KDE4. So, that means the first half of 2007. Most likely sometime in
the 2nd quarter.

I know i am not a frequent poster here, but as long as the QT3 plugin is
maintained until QT4 is standard on most distros, then i see no reason
to make the new plugin a hybrid between 3 and 4. This will allow optimum
use of all QT4 has to offer, and the QT3 plugin will still be available
for those that don't have that capability yet.
Off the cuff thought.. if KDE4 should be out by first half of 2007...
plan to obsolete the QT3 plugin (modify date based on what happens in
2007) by the end of 2007.
