Although recovery was a long time (8 or so months of problems and
pain) it worked out much better than I thought. All the pain and
numbness is gone and my bottom and top jaw are in the correct position
(instead of being 12 mm or so off).. I would have done this many years

Here is what I am working on with Qt:
On my windows machines I build qt 4.3 from source and use VS2005 to
compile my medical imaging (itk + vtk + qt + boost) projects under 32
bit windows XP. I am using CMake to generate the project files so that
with the same source (checked into cvs) I can also build and execute
my applications in 64 bit gentoo linux using kdevelop as the build
environment on the linux side. At this point I have not had any
serious problems running my applications on both platforms but they
are in no way as big as bat is at this time.
I am interested in this and it is a possibility that I can help with
that. I can not promise anything though. My time is always short.
