Introduce a new dependency (QT)?

 

I'm working on the DOLFIN plotting code now, finishing the blueprint
(https://blueprints.launchpad.net/dolfin/+spec/dolfin-plot-c++) and
general polishing.

I would like to switch the window handling and event loop to QT,
because it's much more flexible and mature (stable) than VTK's. An
example of things that are hard to get working right with the VTK
window handling is to close a single plotting window.

This will introduce a new dependency for plotting (in addition to
VTK). It will be optional, and if it's not configured then it's only
plotting that is disabled.

Any protests?
