This is true; however:

Is there actually any valid reason to link with libqt.so instead of 
libqt-mt.so?
It seems to me that even if you don't use the multithread functions, other 
software might, and therefore there is no good reason to keep libqt.so in 
memory *in addition* to libqt-mt.so

As such, there is no reason to keep the development version of the 
non-multithreaded version around; that way Qt2 development will still work.

(Unless Qt2 had a multithreading too, of course... did it?)
