Maybe this is a silly question, but what makes a library to be a Qt 
library ?
Or asking the other way round: what is the difference between a module 
like QtSvg and 3rd party libraries like Qwt or Qxt - beside where they 
are hosted ?

As far as I understand one of the ideas behind the modularization is to 
develop modules more independent, what makes these modules sooner or 
later very similar to 3rd party libraries.
