Merged in Qt4 peers from Classpath and added build machinery

Hi all, hi Sven,

This is a second set of Qt peers, this one coming from GNU Classpath. Contrary to Kaffe's original Qt peers, that work with Qt2/3/Embedded, this particular implementation uses the latest release of Qt libraries, Qt4. Most distributions do not ship it yet (and probably will start shipping in ~6-9 months when KDE 4 arrives). It is pretty intersting nevertheless, as Qt4 is a very nice GUI toolkit, and is now available under the GPL on all major desktop platforms.

The peers were written by Sven de Marothy, and were checked in into GNU Classpath's CVS a few days ago. I've added the build machinery to support bulding them on Kaffe, and will be porting that build machinery over to GNU Classpath later today, so that other runtimes can easily use them, as well.

They do not work yet on GNU Classpath (and Kaffe) due to some Gtk-specfuc implementation details in GNU Classpath's AWT implementation.[1] Help on improving the GNU Classpath AWT implementation is heartily welcome and appreciated.

cheers,
dalibor topic

[1] In my tests last night, they essentially went into a busy wait on Kaffe CVS head ;)
