So am I at any great risk doing an emerge -C qt-3.3 and then expecting
revdep-rebuild to fix up mythtv-0.21 with qt-4 using whatever it has
ffor qt3-support?

I'm __really__ not ready to upgrade my whole MythTV setup 0.22 if 0.21
requires qt-3 and the qt3 support stuff in qt4 doesn't work. That
would be very painful for me even given 6 weeks.
