Symbian update for xulrunner

Choose Qt as widget

Nokia has a plan to discontinue Avkon (current S60 UI) as default widget. They will move to Qt that Nokia is their owner. For feature, I choose Qt as widget

I consider OpenGL ES for gfx/thebes

As long as I look current port for mobile device such as Windows Mobile and Maemo, graphic performance is poor. Although currently device has Graphics acceleration, xulrunner uses software rendering. I think that this design is bad for mobile. Since mobile device is poor CPU performance, we should use GPU

Compiler

Although RVCT 4.0 is free for Symbian developer, we cannot use for S60 now. S60 SDK only support RVCT 2.2 or GCCE (gcc 3.4). I want to use gcc 4.3 for Symbian build, but I have to modify SDK headers...
