[Interest] tty Keyboard & Mouse Support in Qt5

[ganesh.sathyanarayanan]

Hi Laszlo,

Thanks, and yes you were right. Ran into build issues. I am using Qt5 Alpha
from http://releases.qt-project.org/qt5.0/alpha/

Is it necessary to take the entire latest qtbase, or would it do to take
plugins alone from the latest? Reason to ask, is that we took Qt5 Alpha
because its kinda frozen (so reasonably stable). The latest (or qt5 beta is
still under development)

Thanks, Ganesh
