Neither am I.

Unfortunately, this is now a small problem for me.

For people who get Empath, configure is going to want Qt 2 (they'll be
using the standard base directory of kdenonbeta).

Empath has Qt 2 code in, but it's now selected via '#if QT_VERSION >=
200'.

This means that I can write Qt 2 code, while still using Qt 1.42 for
testing.

This is necessary because Qt isn't really usable for proper testing yet
- problems are
too often related to Qt.

I can simply use an old set of acinclude... etc, but for those who don't
know how to
do this (I've not tried it myself yet) this could cause problems.

Option: I make the autoconf stuff allow Qt version 1.42. Well, this is a
bit
ridiculous as it's all from kde-common and thus affects all of HEAD.

I'm not sure how to solve this. Any ideas ?

Perhaps I could put Empath's original base dir into a subdir of itself
and do some
magic symlinking.

~> ln -s $KDECVSDIR/kdenonbeta/empath/old_base_dir ./empath
~> cd empath
~> ln -s $KDECVSDIR/kdenonbeta/empath .

That might work, but it's a hack and relies on developers reading README
:)

Cheers,
Rik
