HOWTO

# PyQt
# ====
# Before you run through this, or anything else related to Qt, make sure
# that you have QTDIR defined (usually to /usr/lib/qt) and that you have Qt's
# bin directory (/usr/lib/qt/bin) set in your PATH.

# sip 4.4.5
# =========
# If you use Python 2.3 or 2.4, this version should be OK, if you use Python
# 2.5, try the snapshot below.

# Prerequisites:

# Qt
