Hi,
+1 for cmake switch, and Ian++ :). A gradual switch is better than a big 
change at once.
Cmake is an attractive option when promoting this library in KDE :).  
and George is very much true about the
possibility of a fork, if tpqt4 doesn't switch to cmake by the time it 
becomes a KDE dependency.  It would be awesomely cool if this patch gets 
merged upstream very soon :).
