 for, but it's some linux related framework.

 In this case Qt is simply an acryonym for Quicktime, you'll see other
 references in there, Qd == Quickdraw (another Apple technology)

 As far as I can see the problem is due to the fact that the Quicktime API
 will not be ported to 64bit, period. Apple has worked around this in their
 own python versions by encasing all non-64bit related foo in #ifndef
 __LP64__

 I'll upload a patch to the port that makes it build for me, along with a
 full diff of the macports python 2.5 headers against the apple python 2.5
 headers.

 python25 revision is arbitrarily set to 6.1 to minimize conflict between
 my local overlay the official ports.
