Qt/embedded is now part of Qt4:

http://qt.nokia.com/products/platform/qt-for-embedded-linux

So it should be possible to recreate a gb.qt4 embedded component from the 
gb.qt4 source code by removing the X11 specific code with conditional 
compilation.

It should not be a too huge job, as the QT3/embedded conditional compilation 
from gambas2 is yet there in the source code.
