i can see that libDC has a parser API exposed, but i don't know if /
how does that works, but if Subsurface uses Qt's BT it can in theory
just use libDC as a parser (Thiago mentioned the same).

i think it would be better for the student to first help Jeff get the
BT working in libDC for Win32 and Linux and then start working on the
Subsurface side.
but...if the OSX code is not going to be donated soon (or maintained
well in that aspect), i suggest we just use Qt's BT.

there is also the option for libDC to expose API to allow the libDC
user to specify the BT backend (e.g.. built-in VS external C-wrapped
Qt BT), but that's probably a ton of extra work for Jeff.
