Hmm, haven't come across that before...

Should be no major issues there, though do you know which qt release
this first appeared in? From a quick google search, looks like qt4.4.
Which means, pcp-gui wont compile on RHEL5 anymore, and some other
distros, I guess... not ideal, unless we can make it conditional (I
would unconditionally ditch the old-school format stuff still, though
make new stuff on/off...?).

Any idea why that is? (missing library?) It should work.

Hmmm, thats not good. Works on Windows and Linux... should be doable
on Mac... pretty sure it did at one point in the past, anyway. We'll
need that even with qch format help, right?

We already do two builds of pcp-gui, one on Snow Leapord which uses
the 64 bit qt ... we should improve the build to add on i386/x86_64
to the generated dmg filenames though, that'd be useful (manual atm).
cheers.
