well, 1st of all is it a good idea to have max version restriction?

or a backward compatibility helper controled by the recipe, may be like
symlinkprogram qt oldversion
compile k3b
symlinkprogram qt newerversion
...

I mean,
we cant foresee what will happen to new versions that can cause
incompatibilities :)
but I only was able to compile cuz I guessed this could be the
compilation problem,
I mean I look for K3b 0.12.16 Dependencies and Qt 3.3.4 was there,
and I guessed the error was a Qt complaint and not a K3b compilation
complaint.


reason:

when I try to compile k3b 0.12.16,
or even the new 1.0pre1 versions,
it requires that Qt 3.3.4 is installed
(I mean it doesnt work with Qt 4.1.2),
so I just symlinkprogram qt 3.3.4
and then compiled ok

then I symlinkprogram qt 4.1.2 back and k3b still works fine :)
