That's what I said. I think Qt would be the only dependency that would need to be recompiled. Presumably, you could use some name-mangling scheme like attaching -gcc3.2 or something to the Qt libraries and package name, in lieu of a real transition plan. I'll have to test this today and see if it actually works. -- People said I was dumb, but I proved them!
