It does. As a matter of fact, the only two alternatives are native vs.
Qt dialog. On all but Windows, the native dialog is used. (At least) on
Windows XP, this seems to fall short in some respects. Therefore, the Qt
dialog was chosen. But if on Windows 7 this makes things worse than
better, we may revert that there.

Using the system's native dialog does not pull in any additional
dependencies. It's called by Qt automatically.
