Well, one thought, is there any reason Qt-core as opposed Boost C++
perhaps? If I understand correctly, they provide similar faculties but
Boost C++ also provides some rather nice looking python bindings that
may make it far easier to move cfpython to a C++ code style.

I'm not saying anything is wrong with Qt-core, and I've never actually
used it or Boost C++ for that matter, but I'm just wondering if should
maybe be considered, as it may have merits. That said, as you're likely
going to be the main person in this code effort, simply having more
experience with QT-core than Boost C++ can be a significant and quite
valid factor.

Not too much of a strong opinion, except that if you do work on trunk
there should be either a tag or branch made for the current state of
trunk.

Best of luck,
