The name is actually the simplest possible, and yes, our goal is to switch to 
qt4-r2 in the end (which I mentioned at the end of my first mail). So in 
general, once qt4-r2 is in, no one should use qt4.eclass.

We had several name options, e.g. qt4-tng but qt4-r2 seemed the most 
straightforward. plus -r2 adds the Gentoo flavor, hence is better than e.g. 
qt4-v2 :)

That said, we want qt4-r2 to be a new eclass for Qt-based ebuilds. And we 
can't just make changes to qt4.eclass since there are too many ebuilds using 
it and we would surely break the tree.

Cheers,
Dominik
