Do we need to?

$ curl -s -D - http://doc.qt.nokia.com/foobar.html | grep Location:
Location: http://doc.qt.digia.com/foobar.html

$  curl -v -s -D - http://doc.trolltech.com/foobar.html
* About to connect() to doc.trolltech.com port 80 (#0)
*   Trying 87.238.50.204... No route to host

It would be nice if the Digia domain redirected to the official docs in qt-
project.org/doc.

And as a side note, any chance we can get an automatic search-and-redirect 
too? If I use "qt:qstring" in KDE, I get sent to 
http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtdoc/index.html

The old TT webpage suggested pages if I had misspelt anything.
