It seems I overoptimized the scripts a bit :)  Removing version numbers
seemed a good idea at the time, as I hadn't done any pkg-clean in a
while and got a looot of odd positives, and, this way it can be
automized to rebuild the select packages (See the commented out line,
its there in functionality).

That's something you should probably look inside the qt3 ebuild file and
changelog about.

Fex. people may well overoptimize their CXXFLAGS with -fno-signals and
other possibly breaking things, works well when you dont use them, but
when you do you break things horridly.
