Just picking the last message to reply to so this is for everyone who 
has chimed in so far.

I may remove the USE flag and just see what blows up.  I may copy over 
some binaries so that I can just use -k and not have to wait on the 
compiles.  I would think if I remove it that something would pitch all 
holy hell about it if it has to have it.  I'm sure it would be caught at 
some point and I would know it then for sure.

I'm not sure if I have anything on here that must have qt3support.  Is 
there a way to know for sure?  Maybe some obscure command that I am not 
familiar with?
