Alas, it does not.  While that library does provide some limited source-level 
compatibility, it is really not intended for use in production-grade systems, 
but rather as a bridging aid for use while porting to Qt4.

Qt4 is a completely different animal from Qt3.  So much so, that porting RD to 
it requires almost as much work as writing the system originally.  At one 
point, it was high on my 'todo' list.  I had made some fair progress on it, but 
finally gave up on it as a waste of programming resources -- why invest 
man-months of time simply to 'go sideways'?  One of the great things about Open 
Source is that Qt3 will always be available, so there is really no compelling 
need to make this change.

Cheers!
