[Qgis-developer] STL vs. Qt containers

[Marco Hugentobler]

Hi Martin,

I'm more in favour of the STL classes because they are available wherever a 
C++ compiler is. There are parts of QGIS which could be used without qt, e.g. 
the vector data providers and other non-gui classes. I think it would be a 
pitty to create a dependency on qt for those classes.

cheers,
Marco
