Hmm, so you expect with libqt as a moving target, that we soon
might have to provide different versions of the lib because of
possible incompatibilities ?

Well, yes, maybe you are right, 'though I first wanted to argue
against it. I already have seen the problem, that I can't simply
upgrade libqt from 1.31 to 1.33 or 1.39, because I would have
to make sure, that every port, that depends on it would have
to be changed.

So more pain free is of course, to have different versions of
qt and slowly change the ports...

Concerning the repository copy please wait a few days, 'til
I find out, where to get the mysterial 1.40 Beta, all I saw
was a 1.39 beta... I'll have to ask the nethack-qt hackers ...
Then we see, which port name wee actually need.

Happy easter weekend !
