Indeed, we stopped making the port-specific packages (qt-x11-*, qt-mac-*, qt-
win-*, qt-embedded-linux-*, etc.) because upwards of 95% of the code is the 
same. It makes our life a lot easier because it's only one package we have to 
generate.

It also reduces the load on our servers (less files to store forever) and 
improves caching in our caching providers.

I initially wanted to call it "all" but that name was taken already. So I 
proposed "everywhere" and the current Release Manager liked the idea. (in 
fact, we had it ready for the 4.5.0 release back in March)

For Qt 4.7, we're thinking of dropping even that and simply calling it:

	qt-4.7.0.tar.gz
