Yes, I get it and support the idea of the Qt port, as you may remember
I backed it on the #1 sprint.
For now you can ifdef the code and add a #warning as this is a
critical TODO. Needs more research and not a #1 priority for now.
In Qt3 and Qt4 times I was able to embed QFileDialog as a QWidget
(even on Windows). These Qt versions mimic native look.
