Mhh i already gave a lecture on linux filesystem-layouts but i have no
idea what would be the better solution fsfe-wise. Personally i tend to
/usr/tde/[version].

Mhh my guess is we need to put qt3 in a seperate directory (or should be
keep it in /usr/qt/3 ?) otherwise there will be tons of complications.

Not much in there yet, just the thirdpartymirrors and an empty
documentation folder.

Definitly! I would go with tde-* it's less typing.;) But i wouldn't want
to change stuff like "konqueror" to "tonqueror" *g.

I hope i can start going over the whole thing this evening or on
friday/weekend.

It's on my TODO for the weekend.

I always keep a stage4 somewhere;)

Yes, i think there is at least a cmake-option or variable in the eclass
that specifies the moc-location or the kde-prefix to use.
But currently i seem to be having another little problem with the tdesktop
not wanting to run commands via ALT+F2. Will have to revisit this later
when the groundworks are there.
