Keeping people from getting the impression due to other comments that Qt 
suddenly falls asunder when using gcc 2.95. This won't happen as long as TT 
supports msvc 6. It *will* happen as soon as they drop msvc 6 support.

This is *the* reason to not being able to continue support of gcc 2.95. Given 
that KDE4 will take at least 1 1/2 years, it'll give me plenty of time to 
perform a smooth compiler transition.

I'll miss gcc 2.95's speed. Btw, do precompiled headers finally work reliably 
for KDE?
