[Interest] Replacement for Qt4 QMatrix4x4?

[Paolo Angelelli]

You aren't telling us much, except that you need to invert it and multiply points with it.
If QtPositioning-private is an acceptable dependency instead of pulling in eigen (or others),
you could probably get away with the private QDoubleMatrix4x4 that is in there, basically
a double QMatrix4x4.
