Hi Michael,

Long ago (that is, my first PPC G4/G5 age), I got with help from others
Qt running on macOS.  At some point, this became too much of a burden,
so it was abandoned since stuff stopped working, etc.  Reviving this is
fine, for as long as it gets used/maintained.  I've recently reached the
conclusion we should cut all the crap that isn't used, for it simply
stalls us in getting rid of the prefix overlay (yes this is still a
goal).  I think it is interesting to get Qt running, but if you feel
it's not going to be maintained or something, perhaps it's better off in
an overlay for now?

Thanks,
Fabian
