Hehe, I think that goes for anyone doing more than once in a lifetime :) |

I'm a little less stressed than I was when we discussed this on IRC. |
| 17 |
Since mozilla ebuild uses mozqt to check if it should build with |
| 18 |
qt-support I think it would be ok to still support it. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
If so we should add a very large comment in the default make.conf that |
| 21 |
this is a very instable option. But there might be people needing this |
| 22 |
(I imagine mozilla builds some kind of mozqtembedd.so or something that |
| 23 |
can be used as an html-widget in other apps?). |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
If there is such a library, would it be possible to build it while at |
| 26 |
the same time use Gtk+ for Mozilla internals, thus not making the |
| 27 |
Mozilla program instable? |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
About the XLIB-stuff I think it would be ok to drop it, as you say, Gtk+ |
| 30 |
is not a heavy dependency. |
