[Qgis-developer] Proposal: Add Qwt as a soft dependency for GPS integration

[Tim Sutton]

Hi all

The gui component is now also in trunk as of r12697. Please note that
it seems to want a recent version of Qwt (tested with qwt-5.2.1). If
you are on ubuntu 9,10 you should find everything you need in apt.

Regards

Tim
