I honestly dont understand this point. And why does it have to be a
submodule. Cant it just be a git repo with a qmake file, that builds the
target to the same place where it would have been built in source?

Ok, as I understand it, there will never be a Qt on pi plugin, nor a Qt
on snowball etc etc plugin. You guys just want one plugin. And you want
eglfs.

Yeah, maybe we should just add minimal_egl or smoething, and keep evolving
eglfs in the direction you guys see fit?
