depending on will end up being implemented it could be done in 3 distinct 
ways:
* every page is a separate qml Item: they would be animated just like the 
image viewer (inefficient?)
* the viewer is a single component (either a qml item or a qwidget that 
exports properties to qml) dummy qml items would get the input and be 
animated, then they would set something like a transition property to the 
component, that would be how much to display of a page how much of the new 
page, this property would be easy to animate
* the widget manages by itself completely both flicking, pinching and page 
switch
