Here it is (attached). 

It seems to work pretty well for me, but it should get some serious testing.  

The patch improves the ability to find and use Qt tree-form installations, 
and can use a dislocated qt header directory if none is found in the Qt tree, 
but it doesn't deal with a situation where the Qt installation is completely 
scattered. It's still necessary for 'moc' to be located in a tree near 
libqt*. It also doesn't address the reported snmp problem. 

Some changes for the future could include letting the user specify the 
locations of all of the necessary Qt file types, by adding ./configure 
options like "--with-qt-library=<dir>" and "--with-qt-moc=<dir>".

Checking for Qt headers is not as exhaustive as the libqt* search, but if 
they are not automatically found, the "--with-qt-includes=<dir>" option can 
be used.

If libqt.so is missing, libqt-mt.so is used instead if available.

The patch can be applied to current CVS with:

hpoj ] $ patch -p1 <configure.in_05-13-02.patch
