IMHO, it's quite important for people to be able to "see-and-run" the demos
before starting the IDE, before doing anything.

With the new dynamic interfaces, and rich network capability, etc., these
demos should really *attract* developers to adopt Qt, and we want to make
that introduction as easy-and-exciting-as-possible.
