I haven't found such a post. The requirred qt version changed in 
http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/changeset/9225 to qt 3.2 as indicated in 
http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/1363 and in 
http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/changeset/11588 to 3.3.
I find it a little bit strange that the online docs are from trunk.

The 64 bit ints were already added in qt 3.2 so the change is safe and 
should stay.
