ABI break, new SDK, extras fork with PR1.2

Maemo 5 PR1.2 will bring with it an ABI break between Qt 4.5 (in PR1.1) and Qt 4.6 (in PR1.2) that will require some fiddling to bring as seamless transition as possible to both users and developers. * Maemo 5 PR1.2 will ship with Extras enabled by default but will use distribution: fremantle-1.2

* 'older' devices will continue to fetch from distribution: fremantle

* Autobuilder will be updated when PR1.2 is released Discussion about the specifics is still underway, so interested contributors should make sure they're subscribed to the Maemo Developers mailing list.

If you are interested in publishing your software through maemo.org, please visit the wiki. The maemo.org Extras repository offers a robust distribution infrastructure for developers, which, considering Nokia's continued issues with the Ovi Store, is especially useful for both developers and users.
