That means that all libraries without Windows or MacOS support have to be removed. The same will be done when the libraries can't be used together with Qt on Windows or MacOS. The Qt functionality should be used when it is possible. External tools or libraries should only be used in exceptional circumstances to make the installation easy for the user.

CMake ist the new build system. CMake has support for all the necessary plattform and can build the installation packages.
