Maybe there was a reason why it vanished in Qt 4? My colleagues tell me it has been done in another project using Qt 3. Unfortunately this info is not too reliable. Mostly hearsay and for me impossible to verify here.

Still, I won't give up this easily. Making shared libraries is such a common and necessay thing that I rather believe I do something wrong than that the trolls accept it as impossible. Especially since it limits the usefullnes of Qt for many projects tremendously.
