Hi Dan,

Sorry I was quite busy myself lately. But I have managed to run Camelot,
a gui on top of Elixir, which requires PyQt 4.4.3 and related dependencies
with the patches mentioned above. 

So I don't think updating the whole shebang is a must, although I agree
with you that its advisable to update the whole thing for best results.
