I would be careful about jumping the gun here: Google Earth not only uses 
an internally-shipped Qt (instead of that found in the system), but it 
also uses a Gtk installer.

If you write an article about "why Google Earth chose Qt", there'll be 
people saying, "so why did they have to use Gtk for the installer".
