Re: A HUGE job indeed.

The aim of the large versions numbers (v3, v4) is to maintain binary and API compatibility through-out so that app developers can be guaranteed their exsting code once ported will continue working throughout the series (i.e. code written to v3.0 still runs unchanged on v3.4). To have a v4 and v4.1 with radically different API's is counter to this aim. What you propose is what in effect is happening, but just without the public release in-between. First a port to QT4, then change the API as required, then release v4.0.
