We probably should have some notes about unique non Trinity packages that need such attention. Do you know of other packages outside of KDE3/Trinity that build against the old Qt3 and are expected to work within Trinity? For example, the old version of QCAD built against Qt3, but was not a KDE3 app.
Gentoo's kde-sunset overlay contains on the order of a hundred applications that aren't part of KDE3 proper, and aren't currently part of the Trinity project, but must have had/needed KDE3 or QT3 support or they wouldn't have been exiled to that overlay in the first place. I don't know how many of them have QT4 replacements, as many of them I'd never heard of before I poked into the files this afternoon. I also don't know how many of them are wanted/useful or need tweaking to build for us.
