[Octave-patch-tracker] [patch #7990] Add builtin Qt equivalents of UI dialogs, i.e., , qterrordlg, qtinputdlg, etc.

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #7, patch #7990 (project octave):

Correct.  That's the only way I could move forward though.  The code that
interprets the built-in functions resides in the Make of the libinterp
directory.  It looks for intermediate files in its subdirectories, not
elsewhere.  libgui is at the same level as libinterp.  If that Make code for
generating intermediate files were at the base directory, then the dependence
could be removed.

The good thing is that the dependence is only intermediate files.  But yes,
gui code should not have its intermediate files over in the libinterp
directory.  Make code is a big undertaking for me, that's why I was hoping one
of the main developers could restructure that.

Actually, my preference would be to get rid of intermediate files.  Touching
one of the builtin .cc files causes a big link process.  (Usually it is
touching .h files that causes a ripple effect.)  However, I'm not expecting
that much.
