Drum roll please...

A couple of notes:
* if you run qt-rebuild --pretend, you should have only one build key.
    if you have more than one, you really need to rebuild them.
* the build key does not contain the qt version.  Instead it describes
   the build environment.

So currently I don't see how to verify that all the plugins are built  
to the
same qt API.

Here's the readme:

= qt-rebuild

This is a utility for gentoo (http://gentoo.org) linux.

When QT is upgraded, you may have to rebuild any QT plugins.  This  
utility
attempts to find and rebuild packages with QT plugins.

Here's the discussion thread:

== Installation

   $ emerge ruby rubygems
   $ sudo gem install royw-qt-rebuild --source http://gems.github.com

== Usage

   $ qt-rebuild -h
   OPTIONS

     --version,-v
         This version of qt-rebuild

     --help,-h
         Print usage.

     --quiet,-q
         Display error messages only.

     --debug,-d
         Display debug messages.

     --set,-s
         Output in portage's set format.

     --nocolor,-C
         Turn off colored output. (This option is also passed to

It is recommended to do a dry run first:
