Just tolerate it for Qt3 :)

But we have to prepare new trees for Qt4 properly.

Sounds good.

My TODO list is there (although some items are assigned
someone). Cougar, Kazuki, Daisuke, open your list also.

- introduce generic pluggable popup menu for plugins that
  replaces createIMSelPopup() of QMultiInputContext

- make QMultiInputContext plugin

- review new design of QSimpleInputContext

- help X composing table support for QSimpleInputContext

- complete documents in source files (especially new API for
  QInputContextPlugin)

- introduce an error handling feature
  QInputContextPlugin::isDisabled(key) if someone need

- investigate C++ specification for static variables to fix
  some doubtful codes

- make the argument of QInputContext::filterEvent() const

- make ChangeLog and changes files for immodule

- release new BC and ALL patches


More discussions are required for following items:

- introduce QT_IM_SWITCHER environment variable

- sort input methods by supported language

- sort the language groups of input methods in accordance with
  current locale (place current locale language top)


Qt4 TODOs:

- import official Qt4 trees into our repository

- the porting

- surrounding text

- extend preedit attributes

- language tagging
