-fixes, by definition, does not include -features

Also, if you really want it, download the source for -fixes, apply the
patches, adjust anything that might need adjusting and go.  Also, I'm
running this version of trunk which is prior to the QT4 checking with that
feature so...

<caveat>
You should be able to check out trunk using the -r switch and grab the
revision just before the QT4 changes went in and you should have this new
feature without all the instability
</caveat>

You've been warned
