Depends, if qt-copy == qt 4.3.1 then some might be in 4.3.2, if its
already 4.3.2 then all the active patches are not in Qt 4.3.2. Thats the
purpose of qt-copy to have a qt version with patches that might end in
Qt itself, but are not in the current version.

Depends on the patch :) I'm not aware of any serious bugfixes in them,
but I don't look often at them.

Its 4.3.1 or 4.3.2, not sure if its been upgraded to 4.3.2 already.

Qt4 itself doesn't use QTDIR anymore. Its completely unsupported. Qt4
uses qmake to know about its installation paths.

If you delete ~/qt-copy then you need to re-arrange your variables to
point to the new Qt4.3 directory and close and re-open shell. I'm not
sure if running cmake . in the builddir is enough, eventually you'll
need to remove the CMakeCache.txt.
