It would be a big help if it would be at least announced when qt-copy or Qt 
has to be updated.
As it is now somebody just notices that something doesn't work anymore, and to 
make sure everything gets rebuilt correctly does a complete fresh build of 
Qt, which takes a lot of time and might cause everything else to be rebuilt 
too.
That's also the reason why Bill stopped doing nightly builds of kdelibs, and 
apparently also the reason why the build on curie.tu-wien is still broken.

On the practical side, it would help a lot if I would have access to a box 
which can use a compile cluster.

This is IMO a problem and also sounds different than what Thiago wrote. We 
need to get KDE4 out 2007 and making it harder to develop for it doesn't help 
in this regard.
