Out of 3milions of code in Qt, 1milion comes from "third party libraries". Qt
is only an illusion of limited dependencies because they ship all of their

Distributions use such tools, not sure about names. But for us, it is easy to
check the target_link_librairies in the libs directory ;) And that is all we
