build order question - apps not listed in HowToBuild wiki?

Guys & Gals,

  (with restored political correctness), where do the additional dependencies
apps fit in the build order and which will not build if the system is based on
Qt3. Specifically, the following are in the tree, but appear to not have
previous build scripts on Arch:

dependencies-avahi-tqt
dependencies-libart-lgpl
dependencies-libcaldav
dependencies-libcarddav
dependencies-python-tqt
dependencies-sip4-tqt
dependencies-tqca-tls
dependencies-tqscintilla

  The build order lists:

tqtinterface
arts
dbus-tqt
dbus-1-tqt
tdelibs
<snip>

  I presume the above dependencies would be built prior to tdelibs. Without
trying each individually, do we know which ones won't build unless TQt3 is used
instead of Qt3? Also, is there any order in which they must be built? (don't
think so, but I thought I would check...)

  python-tqt, sip4-tqt and tqscintilla all seem to be related to python/C++
bindings - is there any functionality they provide for TDE beyond development
that a normal desktop user would care about?

  I have no problem backing up and starting over with TQT3, but my understanding
is it is still waiting on a few fixes from Tim. Where will be get the
announcement that TQt3 is considered ready to go? git changelog? list?

  Sorry for the list of questions, but in trying to get as much done as
possible, I would like to avoid wasting effort if possible and the HowToBuild
wiki left these issues open.
