5 Unfeasible. GTK 1.2 was deprecated when the two flags were merged, Qt3 is all
6 but deprecated right now. If you decide to use just one version of qt, it
7 would be qt3 for all, and a mess when KDE 4 will come out, we can't think of
8 NOT having time for the change from 3.x to 4.

10 Also, gtk and gtk2 flags did NOT work as I asked, gtk2 was to enable gtk2
11 version when both a 1.2 and 2 version was available, so for instance ethereal
12 +gtk -gtk2 built gtk 1.2, and -gtk +gtk2 built NOTHING. What I'm asking is
13 for qt3 enable the qt3 version, qt4 the qt4 version, qt3 and qt4 both if
14 possible (that is usually the case for stuff that has both version available,
15 as one does not obsolete the other right now).
