Well, also we still have *no* QtJolie release as I never found the time to put 
it in a releasable state (which I might be able to do in the next few days

We can't have such a hard dep obviously so it'd have to be conditionally

Although I'm obviously fine, and willing, to keep maintaining QtJolie, I'm 
definitely not willing to invest time in the remote widgets support per say. 
ENOTIME ;-)
