12 We can start porting those ebuilds that just need to be changed using
13 "=x11-libs/qt-3*". Then we can change kde-functions.eclass for the ebuilds
14 using need-qt() (which can set something like e.g. || ( =x11-libs/qt-3.3* ...
15 =x11-libs/qt-3.1* ) ); and finally we can deal with the remaining ebuilds
16 (not many probably) using the qt.eclass (or qt3.eclass, or qt3-info.eclass,
17 or whatever), or again something like "|| ( =x11-libs/qt-3.3* ...
18 =x11-libs/qt-3.1* ) )" where possible.
