Also, thread safety is not an all-or-nothing thing.

* It is possible to safely add a Qt interface to a threaded application
  without needing to even link to the MT version of the Qt library.

* Using qt-mt, you may safely send events from one thread to the GUI
  thread. This is sufficient thread safety for many applications.

Qt is nowhere near completely thread safe and likely will stay that
way for many years, perhaps for its lifetime.

Does anyone know of a completely thread-safe development platform ?
