Well, I have extended get_Qt to try harder. 
It works fine on Debian GNU/Linux ia64. 
On x86, it works with both QT2 and QT3, but not with QTE (Qt embedded).

There is a bug though: Typing Control-C after the first window is open
triggers a SEGV and freezes the window.

Especially that other C++ compilers may fails to work properly due to
C++ compatibility issues.

If you provide a way to handle C++ file, I will add NTL support.
