[QtonPi] Qt5 on raspberian

[Douglas Gore]

Thanks Alex.

So the fallout from the problems at Nokia have resulted in less (or no)
resources for QtOnPi I assume then? I hope Qt5 itself is still under
reasonable active development because I can see so much potential in it
especially on embedded platforms like the Raspberry Pi. The QML + JS aspect
actually makes for really nice environment for building the user experience
with C++ to do the more complex and low level tasks.
