QT/Win vulnerability and strutting Builder's stuff

I came across this article yesterday about QT updating issues and its 
security implications, which reminded me of the recent discussion about 
this on the list:

This got me thinking:

LC 8's Builder seems to be coming along well, with foreign handlers, 
refined drawing control, etc.

Given what's in place now, would this be a practical time to consider 
using Builder to implement the Kickstarter goal of "Improved 
cross-platform multimedia support"?

A new player-like control wouldn't need editable text, so if it's within 
the scope of what Builder can do today perhaps it's not only a good use 
case for showing off Builder but also knocks one of the most desirable 
Kickstarter goals, yes?
