Distribution-independent installer framework
### Dependencies
* CMake >= 2.8.12
* Qt >= 5.3
### Building
```
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make
```
### Design notes
* Backend
* lib should only depend on QtCore >=5.3, possibly boost::python
* common functions like partitioning
* works as job queue and executor
* plugin based to let distro-specific tasks be done in a distro-specific order
* Frontend
* QtWidgets >=5.3, other deps as needed
* themeable so branding can be done easily (plugin-based)
* presents a bunch of pages in a scripted order, enqueues jobs in the backend lib
