I would like to suggest that this not be the way we upgrade qt4-mac.
If KDE needs 4.4, then we should create a compatibility port
(call it qt4-mac-compat, qt4-kde, or something along those lines).
qt4-mac should be the latest release version (4.5).

Since qt4-mac is, for the most part, partitioned off to ${prefix}/libexec/${name}
(to avoid conflict with qt4-x11), creating a compatibility port which does not
conflict should be relatively easy.

I have been working on an upgrade to 4.5, but it will take a little while.

In any event, 4.5 is not a development, beta, or pre release, so the naming
(qt4-mac-devel) is a bit awkward.

I am very eager to get 4.5 up and running since it will make other parts of my
work easier to build in 64-bit mode.
