[MonoDevelop] monodevelop and Qt Designer

[Christian Hergert]

I doubt too many people would be bothered by the chatter, most just
archive the mail anyway.  I'm BCC'ing the list and Eric for the
purpose of resolving the issue privately and we can send another mail
to follow up with the results.

>From what I remember, Eric ran into a few bugs with Qyoto and was
working with the upstream maintainers to fix them.  Therefore, since
synapse exploited these bugs, he was required to package them himself.
 I'm not sure if that is still the case.
