Comment (by RJVB):

 Just how hard and extensive is that dependency on QTKit on Mac? Evidently
 that SDK was never available on other platforms. And what if you were to
 provide a `port:QTKit` ... would it be functional on systems where it is
 no longer included?

 (That last question should be answerable by checking if applications using
 QTKit still run on those newer systems.)

 Have you looked if anyone wrote a QTKit replacement built on modern
 foundations? Back when the QT SDK was being deprecated (and I was still
 using it) I started looking into QtAV but for this you'd ideally want
 something built on AVFoundation I suppose.
