Yeah, that's quite cool.
But you absolutely need the MacPorts Qt (as recommended) (Homebrew or
binary did not work for me).

The QtRuby API is really nice, so I would recommend you Qt.

I finally was able to install QtRuby a few days ago, and I'm really enjoying it.
I installed on OSX, so I do not know about other platforms, but I
believe the instructions from the qtbindings gem, so it should be
relatively easy.
