I need to use gt3 library because I have program which works only with 
this library and the program does not want to work with qt4, so it is 
much easier to compile over qt3 then rewrite the program which I am not 
an author.

I think that backward compatibility is the main reason for keeping old 
version of libraries. Imagine operating system which requires rewriting 
of all old applications because of changed system api. In that case 
everything will fall apart and people will use many different and old 
operating system versions.
Backward compatibility is always good idea.
