Fully understandable, but Qt is big and I fear that a complete wrapper will end up as a huge lump that has continuously be maintained (to stay complete). The qt egg is explicitly meant as a lightweight facility for exploiting the meta-object protocol of Qt - sort of an experiment (but still quite useful).
Hm, I think a "cross-platform gui toolkit" is a big thing anyway? Let's assume you want a lighwight GUI toolkit. You said, you want to accomplish the platform independency by implementing your API against different existing platform specific toolkits. I suppose that approach will take as least as much effort as when you implement your API against QT, because the platform independency is encapsulated in it. Last but not least: Couldn't the meta-object protocol of QT actually help to write a wrapper that is not as fragile regarding changes of QT as wrappers for other toolkits regarding their changes?
