And another thing: Why the "-no-exceptions"? Ever since gcc 3.0.0 was out, 
having exceptions support compiled in is free of runtime costs, up until 
the point where you actually throw an exception. If people want to write 
code that uses exceptions, why not allow them to do so? I know there's an 
old grudge against exceptions in kde code, but there's no reason to 
cripple peoples Qt, when they might download Qt apps that need 
exceptions. And yes, there are examples of such apps.
