Would it make any sense to instead help QBS?

Maybe a single QBS binary could help a lot to bootstrap Qt sources, since it 
theorethically do the same that Perl does, being backed by a real general 
purpose language in case the declarative parts are not enough. And, honestly, 
that would really be a boon to Qt, since if QBS succeeds, we could replace one 
of the not so compelling parts of Qt. ;-)
