The shotcut ebuild above is missing dependancies on qtwebsockets and
jack-audio-connection-kit.  Once I added those, it built cleanly.  It
doesn't _work_, but it builds.

When I run it it just dipslays a small balck rectangle in the middle
of the display and then locks up.

I must say I'm pretty unimpressed with the state of GUI video editors
on Linux (or at least on Gentoo).

There are probably three or four more I could try, but I think I'll
stick with the command-line rather than waste any more time on trying
to build and use half-finished apps.
