It didn't, this is my first try at getting Qt/3.0 to work.  Suffice to
say, it's been a pretty painful process with both PacBell and FreeBSD
against me.  I believe that libsocket && libnsl are hardcoded in the form
of $LIB_SOCKET somewhere.  There's also the chance that on platforms where
those libs are needed Qt does the proper dependency thing (i.e. linking
libqt-mt against libsocket), there's also the thought that the proper way
of using pthreads on -current isn't quite perfect.  -pthread is
depreciated in favor of -lc_r as the last library, the linker will DTRT
and not link libc.. who knows how this interacts with some libraries
depending on libc, some (like Mesa) depending on libc_r.

Summary:  threading's a mess, the socket libraries are not.
