Qt port based on QPA

in the foreseeable future, Qt will be the best way to go for developing
GUI applications for Genode. We are not planning otherwise. In a recent
posting on the l4-hackers mailing list, I mentioned my principal
interest in following up my past work with the DOpE GUI server at some
point in the future. But this is not a tangible plan right now (more of
a day dream).

If you decide to go for porting Qt5 to Genode, your work will be well
received. The perfect way to start is to open a new topic on our issue
tracker. There we can discuss the best way to go forward:

  https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/issues

Once the issue is opened, I am sure that others that have a stake in the
topic will get involved.

Cheers
Norman
