[sword-devel] SWORD + Qt better support

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Hey guys.  I spent today to try to add a few methods into 1.7.0 before 
we push it out the door to ease your (those building Qt frontends) 
integration with SWORD.  It's really not much but I wanted to target at 
least a minimal Qt app without adding any extra conversion code.  I've 
added this minimal Qt app as a sample here:

http://crosswire.org/svn/sword/trunk/examples/qt/

I've done this by adding a few very basic QString conversion methods:

http://crosswire.org/svn/sword/trunk/src/utilfuns/qt/qtsupport.cpp

I believe I have everything isolated out of the headers with a class 
forward declaration of QString, so the headers remain the same when the 
engine is compiled with or without Qt support.

You will get linker errors, however, if you try to use one of the Qt 
methods and you don't compile the engine with Qt support (alternatively, 
you can always include the 
http://crosswire.org/svn/sword/trunk/src/utilfuns/qt/qtsupport.cpp in 
your own project if you have a SWORD binary not compiled with Qt support.

I hope this eases integration for you at least a little.
