I am a big fan of the 2.9 release.  I want to add my universal scripting 
layer but it breaks BC all to hell.  I have been sitting on this patch for 
about 1.5 months now, and I am itching to get it out there and tested.

I think going from 2.3 and then porting to 2.9 is the best approach because 
we will insure that no new bugs are introduced in the process of porting to 
QT 3.0

There is also talk about a utility that fixes BC in applications.  I used 
something similar to this a few years ago on applixword.  A new version of 
GLIBC would not allow it to run so they applied a runtime patch to the 
application and it worked.  If we are only breaking BC and not source 
compatibility then would that not be an option?
