x11-libs/qt-3.3.8b-r2 and -r1 (in the kde-sunset overlay) currently

Fortunately, in February a patch to fix this issue
(files/qt-3.3.8-libpng14.patch) was added to the overlay.
Unfortunately, even though the patch is there, the qt ebuilds in the
overlay don't apply it.
Please add epatch "${FILESDIR}/qt-3.3.8-libpng14.patch" to the qt:3 ebuilds.
I've read something to the effect that libpng-1.4 is causing all kinds
of headaches even in mainline Gentoo (even without kde-sunset). It's
got me nervous to update... I still remember about ten years ago when a
libpng update completely hosed a FreeBSD desktop I was maintaining then.
Here we go again! :-/
