Is it possible - or what needs to be done to make it possible - to install Qtopia 4 libs (or statically linking them) on a stock Qtopia 2 Zaurus, and run Qtopia 4 apps?

That's a bit oversimplifying I think. |

Thanks for the reply!
I confused Qt and Qtopia versions, sorry about that. I am currently converting my Qt 2 application to Qt 4, and I'm investigating if there's any chance that it'll be usable on old Zauruses without custom ROM. I suppose chances are pretty bleak.
