Remember that mdbtools is not C++ and does not use QT
the gui portions are gtk, however I only need libmdb which contains no gui 
code

I use defines to map glib calls to java
for example to create a hashtable in glib and populate it I can use:

#define g_hash_table_new(a,b) new Hashtable();
#define g_hash_table_insert(table,key,value) table.put(key,value)

which maps the calls to the java hashtable object.

You should be able to do something similar to map the glib calls to QT

I'll post a patch tonight or tomorrow when I'm home

your idea to use mdbtools with native qt objects instead of glib sounds 
interesting
and similar to what I'm proposing.

Any offical comments?  Brian?  Fred?
