It is so sad to see a developer platform like Qt being at the mercies of M$. If you've never used it, Qt is to C and C++ what Eclipse is to java. It is one of the most powerful C++ GUI tools you will ever encounter. Seems like opensource is being killed off from the roots. First java now Qt. How about that for a double punch. At least C++ is more of a standard than a product.

Lighthouse now necessitas, is abit 'bulky' on packaging and
distribution of Qt applications on Android
(http://sourceforge.net/p/necessitas/home/) - I don't see users having
enough patience and/or concentration to download Ministro first before
running my Qt apps.. unless I'm promising them an exceptional app.
