Anton and others,

This will make a good addition to openhpi tools.

Qt is shipped under various licenses. I am not an expert in licenses,
but seeing GPL v3 with special exceptions
( http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/license-gpl-exceptions.html ) cautions me
little more.  It is better to consult knowledgeable people in this area
before adding a code that depends on GPL v3 software for compilation and
usage.

If we decide to add, I agree with its location and contents. It could
reside parallel to hpiview, openhpi etc and it could be in its own RPM. 

Regards
Mohan
