[Octave-patch-tracker] [patch #7990] Add builtin Qt equivalents of UI dialogs, i.e., , qterrordlg, qtinputdlg, etc.

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #14, patch #7990 (project octave):

Yes, there is a potential problem for the add/remove hook functions.  Maybe
they should be named __X__ instead, to indicate that they are functions for
"internal" use.

In any case, I don't think we want to invent some new complicated way of
dealing with these functions.  The GUI should install them when it starts, and
the hook function idea works.  For a related set of functions like the Xdlg
functions, we can use a struct to set all of the hooks with one function
call.

Since these functions are supposed to provide the same interface regardless of
whether the GUI is qt/gtk/whatever, they should not be providing the help
text.  That should be done in one place so that the help text is consistent
for all possibile implementations.
