We will switch to Qt 3 as main Qt version for CVS HEAD when Qt 3.0.0-beta4 
is released. Meanwhile Qt 3 porting is appreciated, thats why I imported a 
snapshot in qt-copy. 

In my opinion CVS HEAD should till the switch still work with Qt 2, but if 
the majority wants to break Qt2-compatibility right now its fine with me. 
Its just a matter of a few days anyway. 

The advantages of having both somehow working ( with #ifdef's where 
necessary) is that you can review the porting changes and see what got 
broken by it. if somebody just commits a patch to make it compile with Qt3 
its a bit more difficult to follow. Please note that the focus is NOT 
rewriting code or adding lots of features but to make a clean and 
straightforward (and correct port). KDE 2.2 isn't really stable as we know 
now, so KDE3 snapshots should become a good replacement in the near future.
