10 That gives me an idea, and if this has been suggested before, just
11 ignore me -- I'm new here. :)

13 What about having a variable in make.conf, something like
14 USE_QT_VERSIONS, where you could put the preferred Qt versions that
15 you'd like support built for?
16
17 So, for example, if I wanted Qt3 and Qt4 support, I'd put
18 USE_QT_VERSIONS="3 4" in make.conf. If I wanted one and not the other,
19 just put in "3" or "4" instead.
20
21 That way, you could still keep just one "qt" USE flag.
