I remember your frustrations in porting to Qt 4. Yes, hopefully that was
the only big hump.

* What can Qt 5 do for us? I will read up on Qt 5. "Leaner and faster"
sounds nice. More foolproof? The blurb didn't mention, but that's a
more important consideration IMO (Eg might it fix the bug where
right-arrowing off the main menu crashes?)
* "Very few changes and a simple recompile" sounds promising. Of course
that's a believe-it-when-I-see-it.
* When will rg requiring Qt 4 become an actual problem? I'm guessing
much longer than 4 years from now.
