Problem with Emscripten-Qt is it's far from optimized. It downloads and
executes several megabytes of JavaScript to run a simple "Hello World".
It's better than nothing but really far from what you can achieve with
web-targetting libraries such as Wt or QMLweb

http://webtoolkit.eu

https://gitorious.org/qmlweb

But maybe, only maybe, it could be used as the starting point for a "web
native" port of Qt, i. e. add some kind of "do not convert this but take
unmodified" mark support to Emscripten, then start adding JavaScript and
C++ as needed in Qt; the rest will be converted by Emscripten (for now).
