Okay, thanks for the info.  I'll probably wait for a std::thread-enabled
4.7.1 release before I consider upgrading.  (As I mentioned, I'm not
facing any particular issue.)

"Experimental" is fine with me.  I don't generally use boost, so that's
not an issue for me.  (Although I will say that if you can use your
toolchain to build both boost and Qt, that's a pretty good stress test.)

Yes, thanks.  There were also some other suggestions for reducing the
memory usage without forgoing the the debug Qt libs, so unless whatever
version of Qt I end up upgrading to has gotten significantly bulkier, I ought
to be able to muddle through.

Thanks again.
