The original issue was, that there is not a single place to look at and 
get all the libraries you need. Boost could be a good choice for such a 
place, but it still lacks a fiew things that are generally used in many 
applications. I came up with Qt, because Qt solves a lot of those 
issues, lacking many of those that boost solves. Since Qt does not 
really cooperate well with STL and boost, I came up with the idea if it 
would be possible to either help the Qt people move more towards the 
standard, or take lessons from them to implement those features in a 
more standard way.

I am not blindly advocating Qt here, though I actually do like it in 
many cases. It was just what came to my mind reading the original 
question. Actually I first was tempted to simply suggest to use Qt, but 
that would not have helped with the real issue.
