This fix is better than nothing. Defaulting to qt3 confused many (who rightfully think they have kde-dev installed). I agree that auto-detection is the way to go. Enable things if the headers/pkgs are detected, and disable it when not. Other apps output a nice summary at the end of 'configure' as to what has been enabled/disabled. Something like that would be more useful than the icecream blurb that I am currently seeing every time :). As for the concerns that René and Norbert voiced, I don't think its an issue. Automatically disabling things when the required libs are missing should be done anyway (as it would not build anyway). And the option to manually --enable/--disable should not be taken away either (so builders and Gentooers can configure in support as they want), just the defaults would be set according to autodetect. Another Easy Hack? My auto-foo is too limited for that task, unfortunately. Sebastian
