It could, but I think the interesting part of qev is to show how it 
interpreted the events into Qt.

Anyway, qev isn't really being developed. The last commit to it was mine a 
year ago that made it *usable* by printing the event contents instead of the 
pointer addresses (10411e51782f7274da626bec01ec3ab8cae8723b qev: Actually 
print the events, quote "Otherwise, this is the most useless application 
ever.")

We're lucky that whoever did the modularisation in 2011 copied it over (thank 
you Marius, Prasanth and Liang, IIRC!). It did not receive *any* commits in 
its Qt 5 or Qt 4 history besides buildsystem and copyright header changes.
