This is really not a simple question...
It takes about 3 months (at least) to get a V port working. It
might be easier with Qt, but I don't know for sure.
Why should there be a Qt port? There already is an Athena,
a LessTif, and a 99% complete gtk port. Why another?
The answer actually may fortell the future of Linux.
(Not our answer, but the fact that we have to have an
answer. Lots of other developers must be having the same
issue.) Linux seems to be splintering. Red Hat is in one
interface camp, which is essentially gtk based. Thus,
GNOME, etc. The other major camp is based on Qt,
with Caldera the main vendor using the KDE environment.
Very sad, actually.
So, does V try to make everyone happy with both a gtk and
a Qt port? I'm not sure. I don't have the personal resources
to do a Qt port. If someone wants to volunteer, it takes
about 3 months, and V might help to ultimate solution.
