That is true.  Moving Compile to something like ChrootCompile is
definitely a good goal.  In this instance, the desired Qt (3 or 4)
conflicts at build time due to the moc executable.  At runtime, Qt 3
and 4 shouldn't conflict.  ChrootCompile should solve this.

Maybe it is possible to build moc as moc4.
