I've been worried about that too. I'm not sure how it is solvable.
I believe the cppgui can be Boost License even using Qt. Since I only
distribute the source code. But I'm not sure how it is solved when
compiled.

The cppgui must be compiled with moc, though that is handled
automatically by the boost.build.
But the client code doesn't. And cppgui uses boost.signals library,
which you can use to connect with your handlers.
This requires QT 4.x though to work. Because of the QT_NO_KEYWORDS
define that's needed to compile cppgui.
