In Qt-4.2 there's no more libQtCore_debug.so on unix. Instead, the lib is always called libQtCore.so
and there's a separate libQtCore.so.4.2.0.debug file containing the debug symbols only.
gdb and valgrind have support for such .debug files, they can automatically load the debug
symbols from it. This simplifies the configuration process, allows to install debug symbols
onto a system where the release libs were installed, and gets rid of the whole "debug_and_release"
mess (installing plugins for e.g. qt designer was really tricky). 
In other words, it's great ;)

OK, thanks for the confirmation.

Sounds great! Thanks.
