I don't have a problem with waiting for a future release. Nor with Qt 5 -- nethack-i18n links against Qt 5 on my Mac, and I've already put in a few bits to make that work. The step from Qt 4 to 5 isn't nearly as big as from 3 to 4. It should take very little work to get this running with Qt 5.
I'll be back as soon as I've tried it, in a day or two at most.
