Qt2 goes in its own league. You can't mix and match. (remember, Qt2 requires
gcc 2.95.*, whereas Qt 1.4x does not.)

moc is _the_ Qt binary. It's normally in ${X11BASE}/bin/.

hier(7) does seem to disagree with this, as neither includes nor binaries are
"X11 libraries".

I think the BIGGEST problem with Qt / KDE is the way KDE has its stuff
installed into ${LOCALBASE} instead of ${X11BASE}, like Qt does. Many ports
depend on both Qt and KDE libraries/includes, making it extremely difficult for
a port to know where to install things.

I propose that KDE be moved to ${X11BASE}, all of it. Why it was put into
${LOCALBASE} in the first place is beyond me.
