qControlCenter is broken, and has been for years, ever since Slackware 15.0
was released. It installs fine, but when you run it:

$ qcontrolcenter 
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/bin/qcontrolcenter", line 10, in <module>
     from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui
ImportError: No module named PyQt4

It's been that way since qt4 and its python bindings were removed
from Slackware (meaning, it likely worked in 14.2, but not at all in
15.0). Since nobody ever reported this as a problem, it's likely that
nobody has even tried to use qControlCenter since at least 2022.

We don't have anything that provides PyQt4 in our repo. We do have
pyqode.qt, which might substitute for it... except that pyqode.qt is
for Python 3, and qControlCenter is in Python 2 (and won't run in 3).

Does anyone object to me just removing qControlCenter from the repo?
