So you would keep the dependency on qt? What is annoying is that right now,
this must be qt-4. The library had its last release in August 2014, but
I see the following svn commit:
r5725 | drobilla | 2015-09-12 18:02:02 +0200 (Sa, 12 Sep 2015) | 1 line
Add Gtk2 and X11 in Qt5 wrappers.

Should we try to package an svn checkout? And convince the author to make
a new release?

If someone wants to beat me to it, I would not refuse :-)
