[Lazarus] QT bindings as defalt (was Release 1.0, part 2)

[Phil Hess]

I wish I knew! I really don't have time (or patience) to do more than test Orpheus against each widgetset for the stable release of Lazarus.

A couple observations are in order:

(1) Although once in a while I stumble across something in the Orpheus code that allows me to fix a problem (as in the expression "Even a blind sow occasionally finds an acorn"), in general improvements in Orpheus are due to improvements in the LCL and widgetsets. Or in some cases, as happened with 0.9.28, Orpheus gets worse over time through no fault of its own.

(2) It's apparent that the LCL and widgetset maintainers never test their changes against the CCR packages. The attitude seems to be that package maintainers will test daily against SVN and notify of any breaks. Sorry, can't do that.

Thanks.

-Phil
