qtruby installs easily on mac os x and has no dependancy on
the x11 cruft. qt looks good on linux windows and mac os x.
only issue is licensing on windows. this is no problem with
mac or linux but trolltech have screwed up slightly wrt to
licensing and gpl'ed windows applications. if someone could
pressure^Wencourage them to sort out this then i'd be
interested in making a port for windows.
