I'm not a developer, but I've been building opie packages for my collie out 
of .dev and I have a few things to say:

Opie does work with qte-mt, but there are many .bbs  that require adding 
LDFLAGS += "-lstdc++" when using it. KO/PI and KA/PI do not build against it, 
and those are my two main apps, so that's a deal breaker for me.  Is there 
any reason for using it, besides having a more current version of 
konqueror-embedded?

SDL games (I've tried scummvm, abuse, and freedroid) require libsdl-qpe to run 
in Opie.  When linked against libsdl-x11 they all error out with "no 
available device" or some such.  Scummvm is unusable on the collie with 
the .bb currently in OE, due to it trying to use a 640x480 display.  I 
tracked down the .bb used to produce the Opie package available from 
scummvm.org and it disables the software scalers, which allows the app to 
run.

Personally, I don't see any reason to have another release of OZ. unless the 
non-collie machines are poorly supported with the current release.  I would 
like to see the recent bugfixes in Opie packaged up, though.
