I was thinking about newer konqueror/embedded. But I think that we can use 
normal qt/e as this is how it was in all previous versions.

libsdl-qpe and libsdl-x11 can both be used on linking phase and second 
gives less problems. Which one use on device is left for user.

Collie is supported only in 3.5.4 and does not have some stuff from next 
releases available - for example pregenerated locales.

Since we moved to linuxtogo with hosting and we can have feed repository
