Simple issue: PyQt uses sip to wrap Qt into Python. Boost.Python and sip are 
not on speaking terms. If what you're wrapping involves lots of Qt stuff, sip 
might be a better choice for a wrapper generator.

This, of course, has the obvious "missing feature" implication: Why doesn't BP 
talk to sip? Any sip experts around to comment on what it would take?
