It is included but for win32 platform only.
Linux is another story :) ..... eg. I'm using libqt4intf.so compiled by 
myself ,because I'm still on glibc-2.3.4, so binary ones cannot be used 
here ... etc..etc, but there's a chance that we'll have packages (rpm,deb) 
soon for libqt4intf, so there will not be so much problems about it.

Well, it does not depend on me, but generally current qt implementation is 
much better and have less bugs than gtk2, we are using it for our commercial 
apps (ported from CLX) so it must be stable enough :).Our Qt apps also works 
nice under Gnome because of Gtk+ style, so when running Qt-45 app under Gnome 
there's no diff between gtk2 and qt application :)
