Right. And in some very odd cases, it doesn't seem to work (kdevelop is one
particular Qt/KDE-based port I've been trying to port for nearly three months
with not much success). I think that having a QTDIR (separate ones for Qt 1.4x
and Qt 2.x) will simplify things a great deal.
Is it not possible to have a QTDIR that is compliant with hier(7)? Can I
suggest ${X11BASE}/qt & ${X11BASE}/qt2 ? That will make it independent of this
particular hier(7) section:
X11R6/ X11R6 distribution executables, libraries, etc (op-
tional).
bin/ X11R6 binaries (servers, utilities, local
packages/ports).
etc/ X11R6 configuration files and scripts.
include/ X11R6 include files.
lib/ X11R6 libraries.
man/ X11R6 manual pages.
share/ architecture independant files.
..where under Pedro's suggestion (lib/) it would be against hier. But we can
simply create a new directory under X11R6, just like WindowMaker does (in this
particular case, ${X11BASE}/GNUstep). And it would be compliant with X11R6's
hier(7) description above! :-)

May I point out that there are 2,700+ ports and (currently) only one exception
to this "rule" (that I know of)? :-)
