Initial import from the monolithic Qt.
This is the beginning of revision history for this module. If you want to look at revision history older than this, please refer to the Qt Git wiki for how to use Git history grafting. At the time of writing, this wiki is located here: http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/pages/GitIntroductionWithQt If you have already performed the grafting and you don't see any history beyond this commit, try running "git log" with the "--follow" argument. Branched from the monolithic repo, Qt master branch, at commit 896db169ea224deb96c59ce8af800d019de63f12

+This is Qt version %VERSION%.
+
+Qt is a comprehensive cross-platform C++ application framework. Qt 4
+introduces new features and many improvements over the 3.x series. See
+http://qt.nokia.com/doc/latest/qt4-intro.html for details.
+
+The Qt 4.x series is not binary compatible or source compatible with
+the 3.x series. For more information on porting from Qt 3 to Qt 4, see
+http://qt.nokia.com/doc/latest/porting4.html.
+
+
+INSTALLING Qt
+
+If you have a source package (a .tar.gz, or .zip file), follow the
+instructions in the INSTALL file.
+
+On Windows and Mac OS X, if you want to install the precompiled binary
+packages, simply launch the package and follow the instructions in the
+installation wizard.
+
+For Mac OS X Carbon, the binary package requires Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) or
+later and GCC 4.0.1 to develop applications. Its applications will run
+on Mac OS X 10.4 and above.
+
+For Mac OS X Cocoa, the binary package requires Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) or
+later and GCC 4.0.1 to develop applications. Its applications will run
+on Mac OS X 10.5 and above.
+
+If you want to install the precompiled binary package for Symbian,
+follow these instructions:
+http://qt.nokia.com/doc/%SHORTVERSION%/install-symbian-installer.html
+
+
+DEMOS AND EXAMPLES
+
+Once Qt is installed, we suggest that you take a look at the demos and
+examples to see Qt in action.
+
+For desktop computers, run the Qt Examples and Demos either by
+typing 'qtdemo' on the command line or through the desktop's Start
+menu. On Mac OS X, you can find it in /Developers/Applications/Qt.
+
+For embedded devices, launch the Qt 'fluidlauncher' demo, either through
+the platforms filebrowser or the built in menu system.
+
+
+REFERENCE DOCUMENTATION
+
+The Qt reference documentation is available locally in Qt's doc/html
+directory. You can use Qt Assistant to view it; to launch Assistant,
+type 'assistant' on the command line or use the Start menu. On Mac OS
+X, you can find it in /Developer/Applications/Qt. The latest
+documentation is available at http://qt.nokia.com/doc/.
+
+

+
+HOW TO REPORT A BUG
+
+If you think you have found a bug in Qt, we would like to hear about
+it so that we can fix it. The Qt bug tracking system is open to the
+public at http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/.
+
+Before reporting a bug, please use the bug-tracker's search functions
+and consult http://qt.nokia.com/developer/faqs/ to see if the issue is
+already known.
+
+Always include the following information in your bug report: the name
+and version number of your compiler; the name and version number of
+your operating system; the version of Qt you are using, and what
+configure options it was compiled with.
+
+If the problem you are reporting is only visible at run-time, try to
+create a small test program that shows the problem when run. Often,
+such a program can be created with some minor changes to one of the many
+example programs in Qt's examples directory, or to the autotests that
+are available in the public source repository on http://qt.gitorious.org/.
