Tim, All,

  Looking at the git repository under main/dependencies I find both qt3 and
tqt3. The first questions is do we want the build based on tqt3 or qt3? Both
look fairly identical.

  Next, there were a number of standard kde and arch patches that were applied
when I was building last year. I am sorting though them to find what has already
made its way into the code. Does anyone have a list of what patches have already
been applied to tqt3?  For qt3 we were applying the following:

gcc46-arch.diff
qt-3.3.8-buffered-iconview.patch
qt-3.3.8-eyecandy.patch
qt-3.3.8-fix-qtextedit-vulnerability.diff
qt-3.3.8-xinerama.patch
qt-3.3.8-xinerama-qpopupmenu.diff
qt-3.3.8-xmms-dynamic.patch
qt-copy-kde-patches.tar.bz2
qt-odbc.patch
qt-patches.tar.bz2
qt-png14.patch

  I will try to pick through these sets of patches and find out what will and
won't apply any more over the next few days. If this has already been done, then
please STOP ME, I hate reinventing the wheel. If not I'll go forward. It seems
that the standard qt-3.3.8-xxxxx patches should have been committed to the tqt3
source, but that is what I need to discover.

  That's where I be... I would appreciate and help or wisdom on the patch issue
if you have it. Thanks
