Discuss about the libndef and QT dependency.

[Jiapeng Li]

Now libndef is developed based on QT. It must be admitted that QT library is very powerful and helpful. Classes of QT like QByteArray, QTextCodec make 

it easy to implement some functions of libndef. But in some application, we may expect to use a pure C/C++ library, when it is based on QT, then user must be familiar 

with QT library first, if some one wouldn't like to use libndef with QT, then there will be problems.

So i think if we could develop a new ndef library which is  based on pure C or C++?

When discuss with Romuald,  he mentioned some challenges. List them here:

+ Pure C maybe unfit for NDEF, Object-Oriented Programming seems to be fit fine;

+ Qt does have functions to handle UTF16BE and NDEF need it, how deal with this?

Writing it in pure C is probably quite challenging but it has the
advantage to be much more reusable than current C++/Qt
We could even imagine the lib could run on an Arduino.
But "would be nice" is not enough to start a new development IMHO if you
don't need it, unless you've plenty of free time ;-)

I started modify libndef to use C++ without QT dependencies, since I'm planinng to use it on a embedded system with gtkmm instead of QT.

Is far from work nowadays. If I ever make it work, I'll post here to let you nosw.

It is very cool, if you need any help, please let me know.
