Hi,

As you may remember I've been spending some time creating a standalone-build 
project for a personalised fork of the Cocoa QPA (and Mac style) plugin. This 
turned out to be relatively easy and given how the QPA architecture one doesn't 
even need to overwrite the official plugin (please don't change that :) )

I've taken a quick look into doing the same with the XCB plugin, hoping I could 
make it easier to allow other interested Mac users to use Qt under XQuartz, but 
it seems that it's a lot more complicated to build that plugin outside of a 
QtBase build. Yet I know the plugin can be taken from a QtBase/XCB build and 
used with a QtBase/Cocoa build. That approach works well enough for instance to 
use KDE's Konsole as a modern alternative to XTerm (used by a surprising number 
of Mac users!) - locally or even remotely. (And look-and-feel purists can even 
use the Macintosh style ;) ).

Should I just drop this or are there tweaks to the .pro file or qmake 
invocation that would make a standalone build possible?

Thanks,
R.
