So some effort is ok, but I think it's more important to simply follow up on what's happening and provide updated Qt packages in case there's a need.


Okay, but what we're talking about here is "is the ICU lib private API" and can we use it. I have Qt 4.5 binaries from 2008 running on Mac OS 10.8 today because we don't use private API. Updating the current Qt is not going to help for deployed binaries!
