I just wanted to throw out an idea. Since Qt is a cross-platform GUI library, would it be possible to create a fake display system platform that would essentially stub out all of the display library dependencies. Ideally, this would still capture information about what is being draw, so that you could calculate what would be displayed hypothetically (this could be helpful for things such as generating pdf files based on calculated layout). At the very least this might provide a way for Qt to run a console application without bringing in libraries that may not be available for all environments (the key case here is Linux servers with display libraries disabled, Windows I'm not sure you can really disable display libraries, but I know that the Linux use-case comes up decently with servers).
If I had the time, I would work on this myself, of course if wishes were fishes, I would have a very smelly house seeing as I am not under water.
