AIUI, PR 1.2 is still having /opt; so why would Qt 4.6 not use it? OK,
so it's problematic for things that are part of the base system to use
/opt, but if the Qt 4.6 libraries which will be included take up more
room than the out-of-the-box installed Qt 4.5 libraries then PR 1.2
will take up more of the rootfs space.

Some advance warning from the Qt folks/Nokia might be in order, in
that case; especially given the levels of support the community give
to people on talk.maemo.org when they get a full rootfs.

Cheers,

Andrew
