I haven't had a look at the libmeegotouch yet, but based on experience 
with the standard Qml items, you shouldn't underestimate the work required.

Actually we are right now exploring other ways to ease the design of qml 
apps in QtCreator, outside of the Design mode. In the master branch of 
QtCreator we implemented a kind of property editor inside the text 
editor, which makes a lot of tasks easier (say changing Text element 
properties). We also have a version of qmlviewer that allows you to move 
stuff around inside the viewer itself, and to apply small changes in 
text directly to the running program.

I don't know what your requirements are, but you might want to take a 
look, since these are somewhat more lightweight approaches. Feedback is 
warmly welcome!
