I'm going to have to port uic from Qt3 from scratch and leave the
existing pyuic for Qt2 users only.

It is possible. If you try to import a module many times, all but the
first is ignored. However, you should only try and import a timeline

Porting the examples won't take very long, so I'll do that. But feel
free to translate more of the C++ examples - particularly those that
show off the new Qt3 features.
