Would be great. Even if it fails, it will be of interest to get your
estimation about the required effort.

If I got it right, the .pro file contains the Qt IDE project settings. I
tried to create an MS Visual Studio project with more or less success.

That would help a lot.

Telepathy? I asked myself the same question. Thiago asked me, whether he
should include Lua and I answered, that this would make sure that the
Configurator will be always based on the same Lua code.

However, Lua is known to be very stable and most conservative regarding
changes. Thus, I'm no longer sure if it is really necessary to include
the Lua code. On Linux (and OS X) it is fairly easy to install and use
the Lua libs. So you may ignore the Lua src tree below qnutconf.

On the Elektor fair you already told me, that Angstrom isn't Debian. You
are going to tell me now that Ubuntu isn't Debian? ;-)
