Put TQt3 in its own directory, e.g. on Debian the tqt3 include files live
in /usr/include/tqt3 while the stock qt3 include files live in
/usr/include/qt3.

TQt3 allows you to build the languange bindings for Perl, Python, etc. and
will allow the usage of Qt4 libraries in TDE apps.  Sticking with Qt3 only
is a dead end, and you will need to upgrade sooner or later (or miss out
on some new TDE features).
