It's tempting but I may discover some outside influence when it comes
to support certain older distributions.

It really depends on what kind of help they need - some people could
be better versed in quirks of Darwin then in pcp shenanigans.

Ideally it would be nice to have QtAssistant as "dependent" package on
Darwin but this is not how trolls ship it, so I'm going to push
QtAssistant into pcp-gui package.

So, should I remove pcpdoc.adp? If I'm going to keep it then I'll try
to make the "right" thing and detect the version of Qt I'm using and
compile the right format depending on the version.

Does not look this way - I've got 2010.01 Qt SDK which is
4.6.something and it only has i386 version. Also all the binaries in
pcp-gui-1.5.0-x86_64 package are i386, so it's not 64 bit which was
the issue but some other changes in the interface.

Are you using the same 4.6 SDK on both?
