Notes of the qbs session

Estimated goal for being able to fully build Qt modules is 5.6.
Simon suggested to support Linux containers (https://linuxcontainers.org/) for package creation. We agreed that it’s nice to have, but low priority.
The “problem of bootstrapping” is a non-issue, according to Ossi. It’s just work. :)
