  it was, admittedly, a broad and nebulous question.  i was just
wondering if there were any obvious drawbacks in incorporating Qt into
enterprise-wide coding projects.  i don't see any off-hand, but
someone who's been working with it would obviously know better.

  so far, while working through the review, i'm reasonably impressed
with the features.
