 * From: Will Andrews <andrews@TECHNOLOGIST.COM>

 * 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).

Yes, this should all be committed at once.

 * 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...

Because the version doesn't bump that often? :)  Also, different ports
may require different parts (or languages) of kde.  Or do you think
it's ok to just always use kdelibs?

 * 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.

Copying and then patching, so unless the new port looks nothing like
the old one, a diff would be better.
