*nod* A fork of the xcb plugin sounds like a good idea!

I don't expect any trouble with EGL, I was just thinking that it may need
some quirks. Anyway, we'll see :)

Shouldn't be a problem, the sonames are different and Qt would be installed to
a different prefix so mkspecs, plugins and imports wouldn't clash either.

Who knows. Maybe in one year's time, assuming there still is a store for the
N9, people might use it.

Both sound like a fork of the XCB Lighthouse plugin. Neither technology is
standard so it shouldn't be in the standard XCB plugin. But there's nowhere
else where they can be.

Why, do you expect trouble?
