Comment(by mario):

 Actually it'd be nice to know if 0xab's code isn't another egg like those
 which are checked in once and never touched again...

 I'm afraid that if we rename qt to qt-light and in some months the new qt
 gets unmaintained, nobody will use it, so the canonical egg for qt will be
 qt-light (it's a '''hypothesis''' -- I don't mean any demerit to 0axb's
 work). Then the existence of an egg named qt (now unmaintained) will just
 make things confusing.

 Now, thinking more clearly about this, maybe it'd be better to give 0xab's
 egg a new name (qt-0xab, qt-ng, qt-plus, cuter ...).

 Sorry for contributing to the entropy.  And feel free to ignore this
 comment.
