I think it is necessary to say detailed, what the changes on the qt port are.

The qt-2 port of the qt/x11 is based on the official qt/x11-2.3.1 release from
trolltech.

Qt manages the platform specific parts in os specific files like
filenane_x11.ext or filename_win32.ext.
In the qt/x11 release the _win32. files are not contained, although some win32
code (dns code for example) is still contained with the lack of an os detection
code, for which I have added code, based on an msdn example.

Chris January has written some native stuff for file open/reading, I have added
some native stuff for a faster Qdir implementation using Find(First|Next)File().

Does anyone see a problem with this ?
