No.

First, the new gr-qtgui component is a work-in-progress, so it doesn't
do anything much useful yet (other than in a very specific test scenario
used last week during the OFDM bash).

The configure script is incomplete.  The group was using a manually
created qwt.pc file as a substitute to fishing this out autotools
macros.  Bob McGwier will be updating the .m4 file to work without the
.pc file, and then it should start working on several platforms.

Correct, see above.
