I am getting mildly irritated by those ongoing suggestions (not just yours) to use anything but Qt to get stuff done, even Qt's own tasks. It's sending an odd message. Sure, one can pull e.g. any "plain C++" replacement for QXmlStreamReader for rcc. With the usual non-Qt approaches this means either some other 3rd party dependency or some ad-hoc implementation providing the part of XML parsing rcc actually needs, or to switch over to another .qrc format. At the end of the day, all that would be doable, but *why*?
