Has it been written in such a way that it can easily be built without QT (or 
Gnome?)

If not, then I'd prefer it have it's own separate section, just like Hi-Toro is 
a separate project.  Hi-Toro, which is a wonderful tool, isn't written for 
anything but osX.  QT doesn't exist on MorphOS or AmigaOS, BEos, or osX.  (Ok 
it's available for osX but that's just silly, installing QT as a toolkit when 
you've got the wonderful system gadgets already.)

So while I applaud your getting it moving, I'd say unless it can be easily 
integrated into all systems e-uae supports, keep it separate.  Nothing wrong 
with mentioning it in the dox or on the e-uae page, but don't risk accidentally 
causing someone to think that this is required for e-uae core functionality.
