  Before we move this to trunk, we should do some careful testing
  related to this:

    00:35 <dato> Madkiss: if the buildkey for Qt changes, is it enough to
bump the shlibs?
    00:35 <Madkiss> Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuhm.
    00:36 <Madkiss> In my experience, if the buildkey changes, Qt will
cause serious trouble
    00:37 <dato> ook

  And, from qt-x11-free-3.3.4/configure:

    # Things that affect the Qt API/ABI:
    #
    #   Modules:
    #     styles

  Reading a bit the following code, it seems like what makes a difference
  is it being enabled or not, and not whether it''s built in or a
plugin.
  But we''ll have to check anyway; I''ll put a note in your
changelog now
  if you don''t mind.

When you don''t know what to do, walk fast and look worried.

I don''t mind at all; feel free to edit "my" qt packaging -
people/chrsmrtn
is just a convenient place. I don''t mean to control it or anything.

As for the issue of the buildkey, sarge''s Qt shipped with:

i686 Linux g++-3.* full-config

Packages based on the people/chrsmrtn branch, including the style 
pluginization, have the following buildkey:

i686 Linux g++-4.* full-config

So there doesn''t seem to have been a change, other than the g++ change
from
3.x to 4.x. So pluginization appears to be safe, or at least this aspect of 
it. I''ve updated the changelog to note this.

Cheers,
Chris
