The problem is to have to rewrite it all.

250,000 lines of c++ code, for internal use,
who have been maintained almost without change
for the last 10 years, in 3 versions of QT.

the QT1 , Qt2 and Qt3 versions, are all with the
SAME source code.

When a new version of Qt was released with my distrib,
I just had to make clean ; make ; in the main directory
of the application source, and we had a new executable.

(Yes a program can be compiled on these 3 versions without change)
