LOL Right. Unfortunately it won't work that way. You can't just
convert a framework that's based on a set of APIs to wrap a
completely different framework that requires a completely different
approach to application design and uses a different language

the result wouldn't work with all of the existing Qt projects.

Well, you say that, but that's exactly what Apple did with Swing in their Java environment. Originally, Swing was implemented using Carbon, and then I'm fairly sure that for 1.3 or 1.4 they completely rewrote their UI implementation to use Cocoa.
