Ok, another question: if I use and compile against TQt3, do I still
need tqtinterface? Or can I drop it?
I'm asking it as a packager for archlinux. I'd like to minimize the
dependency chain that is needed to obtain working tdebase.
This is one of the things I don't like about kde4. You need a lot of
(in my opinion) libraries, and underlaying components in order to get
working desktop.
For me, it would be optimal to have only qt3 and tdelibs (+ some minor
things like dbus-tqt) in order to be able build/use tdebase. That
would require some sort of pull-in/replacement of arts (which is my
opinion a strange creation, and should be replaced/segmented at some
point, because it tries to do too many things together) and other
works, which I cannot even image atm, since I'm not familiar with
trinity architecture enough.

You mean TQt, which is pretty much the same as Qt3 but with Q* objects

What I'd like to know is purporse of tqtinterface.
Initially I understood it was created to facilitate porting to qt4,
without having to rewrite much of the tdelibs/tdecomponents code. But
now, that there are no plans for Qt4 port, what is it needed for,
except as compilation dependency?
It currently allows you to select Qt3 or TQt3. Without it the TQt3 port
would not have been possible.

This is correct. At one time there was a desire to
port to Qt4, however
months of solid work showed that Qt4 cannot provide the
features needed to
create a fast, efficient desktop geared towards
mouse/keyboard interaction
and high on-screen information content.
Okeydokey, but then what is the purpose of TQt?
