No C bindings for QT, unless I missed something. It's natively C++,
which is a big no-no for some people.

My personal feelings are quite different, I hated C++ until C++11
arrived. C++11 (and later) really is a different language altogether. 

But maybe some platforms don't have a decent C++1x compiler,
for x in [1,4,7].

One of the problems is to limit the list of dependencies. I'm seeing
this right now with FreeCAD whose dependency list is frightening.
(And I need some of the latest features, as of last week it did not
compile on Debian testing).
