But nobody answered my question - can we move deprecated classes to
kde3support without making big trouble like I did with KDE_DEPRECATED?
Maybe renaming them to K3... ?
This would reduce the deprecated warnings a little bit because I see no
need to make K3-classes compile without qt3support (and kde3support can
be compiled without QT3_SUPPORT_WARNINGS).
