So the plan is for the next release of bitcoin to switch from the wxWidgets GUI we have now to the vastly nicer QT GUI that John Smith created.

I spent some time yesterday compiling Qt and bitcoin-qt, and some time this morning doing a very quick code review (executive summary: looks great!).

I'm mostly posting this as a brain dump of "stuff not to forget" when it is time to pull QT and remove WX.

Major behavioral differences I noticed during code review:

• Does not generate new receiving addresses automatically (good idea, I think, but may be controversial).
• Cannot act as a rpc client (ok with me, we'll still compile/ship a headless bitcoind)

Will-need-to-be-done stuff:

• Find and replace or remove references to wxwidgets in documentation, makefiles, etc.
• Change makefiles to track rpc.cpp --> bitcoinrpc.cpp name changes
• The QT library is LGPGL licensed; do we need to change READMEs or other files?

... and probably a bunch of other little things I didn't notice or I forgot to write down.
