Just merge it. I hate the idea that Subsurface is holding you back.

Subsurface-mobile isn't even creating a working build for iOS right now.
I tried to switch to Qt 5.7.0. The Qt 5.7.0 installer packages for Mac are broken and
you aren't able to build iOS apps. Tried to switch back to Qt 5.6.0 and now my Qt 5.6.0
builds fail on iOS (engine.load("qrc:///qml/main.qml") creates no warnings or errors, but
engine.rootObjects() is empty.

So at this point I'm giving up on iOS. I've never actually released an iOS package, the
current packages on TestFlight are good for a few more weeks. Either by then someone
gets this to work, or I'll call it a failed attempt and move on.

Push whatever you want to change into master and I'll see if I can continue to build
an Android package. If that fails as well I'll just stay on the last Kirigami that worked.

I have no time to spend on this. I'll start a new job next week and will have a LOT less
time to spend on Subsurface overall.

No one else seems to be willing to spend 60+ hours a week on maintaining Subsurface-mobile.

Oh well
