I was, indeed, referring to the C++ support by GHS, not to the Qt 
functionality.

That's interesting. Are you saying I just overlooked that QWaitCondition 
was not compiled for Integrity? I'm looking, but I still don't see it. 
AFICT, it's using the generic Unix version, iow: pthread_cond_t, but... 
How is pthread_cond_t implemented on Integrity if the kernel doesn't 
support the concept?
