Yes, I can bed; they'll be pleased to have less build failures to check ;-)

Yes; no good solution for it yet.

Yes, this might be an option but people from Freescale needs to
confirm the API will be the same for all SoCs.

Another issue is that we could have a SoC family "arch" so Qt wouldn't
be rebuild if changing from one mx5 board to another mx5 board. What
do you think?
