Nice hint. I have now compiled a version for x86_64 with static qt and
poppler and I got the following remaining deps (hunspell .a lib is
missing, this is a bug in the debian packages):
$ ldd texworks

	libXdmcp.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXdmcp.so.6 (0x00007f89ec7e8000)

But I don't think that we win a lot with that, since we still have deps
on glib, gconf, gobject (coming from libQtCore.a!), so we will have a
hard time to get rid of all the stuff ... buaahhhh.

Best wishes
