Okay. I regard current switcher architecture as
preview. We'll have more discussions for it until official
Qt4 release.

Thanks. I've done the code modification.

Do you like directly working with our repository? It sounds
good. But even if so, please give us a opportunity to port our

immediately start the porting after next patch release. Give us
two days for the porting.

I'll look it later.
