No great surprises there: If you project does not use Carbon, then you
don't need to link to it. If the project does use Carbon, it must be
included in linking.  That said, if you're linking a project with QtGui,
which in turn links with Carbon, then it won't hurt to also link the
project with Carbon too. None of the "library description" files (.la,
.prl, .pc) include Carbon in their dependency for linking with QtGui ...
so, I'm not sure where the dependency is coming from.  Anyway, hope this
helps. - MLD
