AFAIK there is an ongoing effort lead by Martin Sandsmark to port JuK
completely away from KDE3 support libraries to allow it to be ported to the
Qt5-based KDE libraries. It seems to have trailed off last year though,
and I've been told that it's quite a difficult task. I CCed Martin this. He
might be able to shed some more light on this matter.
