Here's what Brad said:

-PREDEFINED             = QT_VERSION=320 __cplusplus KDE_NO_COMPAT
+PREDEFINED             = QT_VERSION=320 __cplusplus

*not to define* means that KDE_NO_COMPAT will be gone when building the docu. 
That's what Brad proposes, and that's what you want, so I think you misread 
his post.

Tthe KDE_NO_COMPAT is there *now* but it *should be gone,* because otherwise 
the online docu doesn't properly document deprecated stuff.

So, violent agreement it is (per Brad's words). I guess Stephan is sleep 
deprived, or tries to cheat with quick reading strategies :)

Cheers, Kuba Ober
