I have no intention of including the sources from QScintilla in the repository. 
 Most platforms already have it as a shared library and if there is a platform 
that doesn't, we can always download a specific version, compile it, and link 
it statically.  That way we only have an external library in the binary package 
but not source package.  If someone really want to get the source very time 
they build Quint, you can just add a MAkefile target that downloads, 
uncompresses, and builds the library.
