That someone would be me... :)
I did manage to compile qt against the xft2 library after extensive voodoo in 
several files (typecasting to char** all over the place and commenting out 
the entire qtaddons_x11.c file). But still no antialias. qt designer does 
link against libXft now, but well...
Anyway, I've given up on trying to get AA to work, and am considering going 
"back" to 4.2 when I get the time.
