-       Adendum, 19 May 2004. From comments by Jean-Marc
-       There now appears to be no need for this patch.
-
-       a. The additional line
-       +{ '^', MAP_KEY(Qt::Key_AsciiCircum) },
-       is fixed already in Qt/Mac 3.3.x.
-
-       b. The line commenting out 'ControlRef' to prevent a name
-       clash is also fixed in recent versions of the Qt library.
-
-       These instructions are still there in README.OSX because the 1.3.x
-       port relies on qt 3.1.x (because of other problems, I believe).
-
-       For the 1.4.x port, Bennett Helm aims at using the latest Qt version
-       with the current gcc 3 compiler.
