This thread discusses the reasons for this slightly quirky move:
http://oss.sgi.com/archives/pcp/2009-02/msg00001.html
Upshot is, pmdumptext now depends on Qt4 libraries, and we were
able to consolidate two libraries, hundreds of lines of code, &
improve portability in doing so.
There should be a pcp-gui specfile snag to trip you up when you
try to install pcp-gui on top of older pcp ... didn't that work?
Hmm, maybe I only did that for the Debian packages - lemme take
a closer look.
cheers.
