Hello,

It's now available!

Differently from my previous positions, I would support moving to 4.5 and immediately remove support for older versions, unless you guys want to support them for whatever reason.

My change in position is motivated by the new license.

I would also say that we should extend support for Qt 4.5 even very far after other versions are released, so that this interface may have a shot at competing with the gtk2 interface. Current the biggest problem for the qt interface is that we support a too new version so that almost no computers of the installed linux user base will be able to easely install the Qt version we require (compiling it from code is not easy, nor quick).

I'm using qt-4.5 with current laz svn with minor changes to qtlcl and it works ok.
