Good point.. however, it seems to me that any port that depends on kde
libraries will also depend on Qt, and thereby require USE_NEWGCC (through
bsd.port.mk). Although.. they would have to be patched to require the newer KDE
library (kdecore.3, kdeui.3, and so forth).

Is there any reason why we don't have a "USE_KDE" switch in bsd.port.mk? Seems
appropriate. Lots of ports would use it. Every time a version bump is made to
the KDE 1.x libraries.. we'd have to modify all of them, too...

No problem. I'm sending in a new one - this time, it'll depend on the recent
Qt/KDE/bsd.port.mk submissions, plus it'll be an upgrade. No better place to
start than with KDevelop 1.0. In fact, it was no problem at all to upgrade - I
didn't have to change any patches. I just hope that Jeremy Lea's
OPTIONAL_DEPENDS patch comes out sometime soon - or some people will be very
unhappy with the lack of functionality.

I know Qt has removed their GIF support - I should have mentioned this in the
Qt14 port PR. I don't think any port will be affected by this, since Qt 1.44
can create PNG images anyway..

I didn't know there was a Qt 1.45.. Satoshi, I could send in another PR, and if
you prefer, can make it "qt145" instead of "qt14".. simpler job. BTW, when you
do a repo copy, does that involve copying the files and then patching, or does
it involving importing and then copying CVS-related files? I need to know
whether to provide a diff or a shar.

P.S. Thanks for reminding me about the library dependencies.. I nearly forgot
about them.. Satoshi, what do you say - we modify all current kde lib_depends,
or add USE_KDE + modify all dependencies once?
