This is good to know as a backup in case Qt 5.6 causes headaches and we need to get the alpha out the door. In that case, we might decide to just go with Qt 4 for our alpha so it's good to know that you'll still be able to make a 2.2dev with Qt 4 (recall that 2.2 will support both Qt 4 and Qt 5). Scott
