Yes, this is what I wrote. When it is out, we should be able to
support distributions that are about 2 years old.
Sorry but I still think this is not our problem if some two years old
distribution won't distribute a Qt4 package.

I understand that, I know you understand this is not the best reason.

I think you will find others are ready to give a hand (well, I am not
really into frontends myself :).
Sure, Lars and Georg have helped me a lot already. But at one point of
time we will need to make a decision because I think it will be
difficult to encapsulate the old API into the new one (as we have done
now up until now). At this point, the other frontends will need the same
cleanup that I have done for qt4 or die.

Your work is _very_ useful, and I thank you for it.
Good to know that. Thanks :-)
Abdel.
