_PLEASE_ supply it as a separate variable, like '&qtversion=...', which can be 
supported in only a couple of minutes and much less error-prone.

However, since Coolo is already busy converting the wizard to Bugzilla/Perl I 
am quite unsure if it's worth spending time on it for the current wizard. 
Depends a bit on the ETA I'd say. I hope to help Coolo and Daniel Naber a bit 
with the conversion, time permitting, but both Bugzilla and Perl are alien 
environments for me, so it's a bit of a tough challenge.

I strongly think it is. If you change it and the consensus is to add support 
for it in the current wizard (and not leave it to the new bugzilla wizard) 
I'll gladly help you on the PHP side of things.

Hmm, PHP had a limit of 1024 characters on a querystring and moving to a form 
POST instead of GET would require some KIO code in the bug report dialog and 
prevent using another browser as preferred browser. Especially since AFAIK 
bugzilla's code doesn't do sessions it will be much harder for us to support 
such things.

If there is no arbitrary limit on the querystring (or if you know a solution) 
I'm all for it though.
