Hello,
I assume that /you/ know that as you invested some time in this
posting, but I think it is worth pointing out anyway, as comparing
"libqt3c102" with "libqt3_2_1" seems to be misleading: libfoo2c102 is
not the 102nd release of libfoo2 but supposed to be libfoo2 recompiled
to use the new C++ ABI in Gcc 3.x.

I refrain from saying something about the real subject of your mail as
I am not familiar with qt's ABI.
