Yep, as a matter of fact I ignored several compiler warnings. They all 
refer to QVector:

/Applications/Development/qt/Desktop/Qt/4.8.0/gcc/lib/QtCore.framework/Headers/qvector.h:323:98: 
Implicit conversion loses integer precision: 'long' to 'int'

Apart from the obvious #warning about the new operating system being 
unsupported.

Thanks for your clarification, I am glad to be the first one to smash 
his nose on this! :)

Cheers!
