Comment(by michaelld@…):

 I'm sorry to hear of your issues.  Qt 4.7.0 made a number of small/subtle
 changes that require some projects to be updated to work correctly.  Given
 how large Qt 4.7 is, I try to keep revision-bumps to a minimum, and I also
 try -- to the best of my ability -- to make sure the Portfile will work
 for as many folks as possible; I try to pre-test on 10.5 (i386 and ppc)
 and 10.6 (x86_64), with various of the features turned on an off.  That
 said, there are -always- issue that arise since I cannot test for every
 possible condition.

 As it turned out, some ports (e.g., Phonon, qtscriptgenerator, many KDE
 ports) did not like the upgrade to 4.7.0 (_0 or _1) -- so we've been
 scrambling to bring compatibility to those ports, as either we find the
 issues or they are reported here on a ticket.
