Why should I care about a recent Qt version? They bind to their 
libborqt.so which provides what required.

I don't care too much about being "modern". I claim that the best 
solution is always the most appropriate, not the "newest".
Tombstones are still made of stone. It's stone age technology, but it's 
the most appropriate up to now. Only if someone comes out with something 
better they will be finally dropped.
When I'll find something more appropriate for my applications, I'll drop 
Kylix with no regrets.
