Ian had constructive comments. Sorry, but your comment is crap.

You won't find any distributor who has a development environment able to 
link anything against Qt1. It will be hard as well to find anyone linking 
against Qt2.

As he said, if you don't upgrade, the software dies.

I know from GTK: The switch from GTK1.2 to GTK2 e.g. took probably a bit 
more than a year. Afterwards either your software was migrated or out of 
the main distributions.
