QTools as a cross-platform backend?

[Orm Finnendahl]

Hi,

 if QT was regarded as an option, CommonQt would probably be the more
obvious choice for a CLIM Backend to avoid multiple layers of
abstraction. In addition CommonQt (and Qtools) currently is stuck with
Qt4 and I'm not aware there are any efforts to port it to Qt5.
