Note also that TDE preferentially uses TQt3.

I generally agree with the obsolescence of Qt3, primarily due to the fact
that it conflicts internally with Qt4, preventing use of a major modern
toolkit, and all related libraries, in Qt3 applications.  This is the
reason TQt exists, to provide a way to keep TDE's foundation working while
also allowing for future growth. :-)
