10 Haven't look at the content yet. But the name is going to make things extremely
11 confusing. I can see people using qt4-r2 just because it has -r2 (so it is newer
12 than qt4), even if they should use qt4. If you really need to introduce a new
13 eclass, you should use a name that accurately reflects what it does.
