Trolltech got back to me. They want to follow the
convention for the different platforms, which means
qmake's makefiles will always generate myth*.dll.
Which means our project makefiles will be keeping the

TARGET=lib$${TARGET}

hack. Oh well. So much for portability :-)



Now, on to the next Qmake bug - make install.

Andrei, your patch for Qt 3 re-implemented
MakefileGenerator::defaultInstall().
Can I steal it to send to Trolltech?
It looks like Qt 4 needs the same thing.
