I've been developing a port for kdevelop. However, there is a tiny problem
(regarding the ports collection mechanism) that prevents it from compiling on
-STABLE out of the box.

FreeBSD 3.x comes with gcc/g++ 2.7.2.3 which is far too old for kdevelop.
kdevelop ALSO requires that the KDE and Qt libraries be compiled using the
newer gcc/g++ (2.91.66 or later, which FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT has had for some
time now).

Currently, the kdelibs11 & qt142 ports do not use the newer g++. Therefore, in
order to use my port, you will have to recompile these ports using the newer
g++. If you are willing to go through the extra "hassle", feel free to give me
a call and I will send you my port and some instructions regarding kdelibs/qt.

It would be nice if you could bug se at FreeBSD.org (kdelibs11 port maintainer) &
andreas at FreeBSD.org (qt142 port maintainer) to add USE_NEWGCC to their ports so
that I can submit my port for a commit to the official ports collection.
