Nathan,

You've been playing with the html recently and changed pmchart.adp and
pmtime.adp to a single file. I'm wondering if you've considered
switching from adp to the newfangled qch/qhc at the same time.

The reason I'm asking is because trolls removed support for adp from
Qt 4.7 - I've discovered that when I've tried to compile pcp-gui
against that version and couldn't find qassistantclient headers. There
is a backport floating around the net but it looks like the direction
trolls prefer people to take is to switch.

I've converted pcpdoc.adp to qch/qhc and compiled the help manually -
after a bit of massage QAssistant displays the help if launched from
the command line (trying to use pmchart's Help>Manual does not work on
Darwin). I can wrap the whole thing into makefile if this is useful.

BTW, it does open a question about external dependencies - I
definitely didn't include QAssistant into the package when I was
messing with frameworks on Darwin.

The other question is the move to Qt 4.7: it now has two versions -
Carbon and Cocoa on Darwin, Cocoa even has 64 bit libraries which, in
theory, would allow for 64 bit pcp-gui. Any preferences from mac pcp
users for timing of the switch and the GUI technology?
