Qt on Windows and other non-unix platforms is not free (speech or
beer) or open source, so we can't use it (on Windows.)  Also, I'm
pretty sure that Gtk+ is about as portable on unix platforms as Qt is.

Off course, I someone wants to create a Qt client for Freeciv I'm all
for it.  But I don't see it giving us anything we don't have today.
