Hi Tisham.
I agree this is quite interesting. Just one question: is a Qt plugin
strictly necessary? I think a Python plugin would be much ore flexible,
especially because it does not require recompilation or inclusion in
trunk (and consequent addition of one extra dependency; BTW: any licence
issues? I understand OTB has a non-GPL licence).
All the best.
