We may want to be able to let the user choose between 2 flavors of Qt. One of them could be a standard Qt (which is what I use), other users seem to prefer a stripped down version with some features switched off. As 'Giuseppe D'Angelo <[email protected]>' noted on qt-interest [1]: "Apart from this: builds with feature switches are not really tested, so I'm not surprised that [there are combinations that don't even build]. But we totally welcome patches that would fix such builds." So IMO it would be a good idea to have a constantly tested low footprint version. There is no one size fits all in this case, but can we provide 2 versions that work for 99% of the users?
