Basically, the answer is yes. You may need to hack it about a little to get
it to build & run though. I'd suggest going with svn trunk rather than
0.20-fixes.  Issues I'm aware of ...

- the checks on DirectFB version don't consider the major version, so if you use
DirectFB 1.0 (and why wouldn't you?), you need to adjust the #ifdef checks

- Qt 3.3.8 has a nasty sql issue, so use qt-embedded 3.3.7.

Go for it, and good luck!
