Feature Freeze exception for QtCurve 0.62.0

Binary package hint: kde-style-qtcurve

I would like to request a feature freeze exception for QtCurve 0.62.0. The version we have is quite old and there have been quite a few releases since the version we have, each fixing a respectable amount of bugs. These include some regression fixes that are present with Qt 4.5 (which we recently upgraded to) as well as some compilation errors that arose from Qt 4.5.

For this upgrade the following need to happen:

- kde4-style-qtcurve needs to be updated to 0.62.0 and to be transitioned to kde-style-qtcurve. We have been removing old KDE 3 themes since there is no longer a user interface to choose a KDE 3 theme. This is one of the last ones left.
- kde4-style-qtcurve needs both binary and source packages removed from the archive
- gtk2-engines-qtcurve needs to be upgraded for theme consistency. (And bugfixes, of course. :P)

Here is the changelog since the version we have in the archives:
