are only the plugins somehow bogus?
i wonder if all Qt plugin compiled with that XCode 4.x don't work
(e.g. via QPluginLoader).
if that's the case it could be a metacompiler issue or something which
makes no sense.

perhaps we should try cooking up a closed test case and isolating the issue.

google says that the tool xcode-select can be used, but there has to
be another way to solve that.

at first, i though the Grantlee is going to be problematic on Windows;
it turns out it's OSX - the platform i once tried hax0ring a VM for,
but it crashed every 5 minutes (because they do not allow VirtualBox
extensions) and downloading free software from the app-store required
my non-existent credit card.

i wrote a couple of times to the Grantlee ML, with no response back;
so from my perspective the library is unmaintained, but if you want me
i can try writing to them again.
Tomaz did say there is a guy who maintains it, though...
