 qt3 has no future, I wonder if it is still necessary to provide this backend.
 Any objections if I drop it ?

 I will also set the default backend to QT4Agg (user will still be able to
 change the default in the matplotlibrc file or in their scripts).

From what I understand Qt4 is supported, right? If so, I agree that
it's reasonable to drop support for Qt3.

You are right, QT4 is still supported.
