Please excuse if you've read this before.  I'm reposting because I
don't see the original I posted 2 days ago.

The latest Mac version of Trolltech's Qt multi-platform GUI
application framework has matured into a viable option for
multi-platform development (v3.1.2).  For example, Qt was used by
Adobe to make Adobe Album.  The problem is that Qt is only supported
under Project Builder.  Like many here, I prefer to use Codewarrior
for my developement.  When I asked Trolltech about Codewarrior
support, I got the following response:

Does Trolltech have any plans to suppport the Metroweks compiler?
If so when?

Apparently Trolltech had originally planned to support Codewarrior,
but has run up against a technical barrier they need Metrowerks help
to conquer.  My question (aimed squarely at MWRon) is: Does Metrowerks
have any plans to support the folks at Trolltech in their quest to
bring Qt to Codewarrior?  Since most old-school Mac developers use CW,
wouldn't bringing Qt to Codewarrior would be a lucrative move for both
companies?

Also, if any developers here would like to use Qt under Codewarrior,
please make your thoughts known to Trolltech (support@trolltech.com). 
Trolltech is a demand-driven company so if no one inquires, nothing
will happen.

Those of you who use or heard of Qt in these forums, what has been
your experience?  I've been using v3.1.2 and have been impressed by
the large widget set, good widget geometry management, thorough
documentation, and plentiful examples.  Installation is a pain
(un-mac-like) and compilation of the library is slow (under PB), but
once you've gotten past that point, the learning curve is not too
difficult.
