Wow! Masters are changing the world, be happy, we are witness of history

IMHO qt-cvs (2.1 pre) behaves quite nicely and the API seems to have
become steady now. I too work on KDE over a 33.6k modem, and updating KDE
and qt cvs once a day or once at 2 days is a 5-10 minutes job (I can even
do them simultaneously without visible speed loss).
