I'm attaching a patch which disables the GUI tools in the package build.

[Torsten Rohlfing]

No plans for Qt5 whatsoever.

The only thing to note here is that Qt is actually optional for the vast
majority of CMTK's tools. The package config could probably be changed to
build without GUI support, which would remove the dependency on Qt.

There hasn't been any followup on this bug since two years and we're now moving
forward with the Qt4 removal, are the immediate plans to port cmtk to Qt5 or
should we remove it from the archive?
