Agreed but there was also a lot of interest for it to be included by
default because a lot of plugin writers are using it. My apologies for
the hassle. If you dont need it we could probably ifdef out the
related bits out and make qgis build without it.

That said are you not using just QGIS core and gui classes in your Qt
app then? I'll need to check but we should not need to link those to
Qwt, just the app.

Tim
