Qt links to both Carbon and Cocoa, because, despite what marketting may 
tell you, the Carbon framework contains functions that we need, even 
when using Cocoa ;-). We only link to AppKit at the moment, because it 
contains all the symbols that we need.

Trust me, if you passed -cocoa on the command line, you have a Cocoa 
build of Qt :-)
