Hi there,

The code that fails to compile in this specific case uses QFormBuilder, which 
is public API in Qt4:

http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.8-snapshot/qformbuilder.html

It is no longer public API along with everything here:

http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.8-snapshot/qtdesigner.html

which will make lots of other code fail to compile.

All the headers are now private and not installed.

Thanks,
