I remember your frustrations in porting to Qt 4.  Yes, hopefully that was
the only big hump.

 * What can Qt 5 do for us?  I will read up on Qt 5.  "Leaner and faster"
sounds nice.  More foolproof?  The blurb didn't mention, but that's a
more important consideration IMO (Eg might it fix the bug where
right-arrowing off the main menu crashes?)

 * "Very few changes and a simple recompile" sounds promising.  Of course
that's a believe-it-when-I-see-it.

 * When will rg requiring Qt 4 become an actual problem?  I'm guessing
much longer than 4 years from now.
