14 This implies there should also be a separate category for packages
15 that are suitable for Lunix only. In the ideal world, IMO, x11-libs/
16 qt should build on both platforms, behaving correctly whether it is
17 on MacOS or Linux; it is inelegant to require users on different
18 platforms to emerge different packages to get the same thing
19 (although for development reasons it might be reasonable to have an
20 x11-libs/qt-meta package that pulls in either linux-libs/qt or macos-
21 libs-qt as required).
