I already did the work to bump their shlib versions. You should read
about my work on my Qt/KDE site. :-)

Only the Qt and KDE libraries need shlib bumps.

The thing is, we'd need to patch many of the Qt/KDE-based ports to
ensure they work with USE_NEWGCC (temporarily breaking them on -stable)
before we upgrade the shlibs. Or else about 60 ports will be broken on
-stable. Well, I guess they'll get broken either way. :))

If fixes are committed quickly, the average user shouldn't notice
anything..
