Port the package manager GUI to GNU/Linux

The MiKTeX package manager GUI is currently only available for Windows. It allows users to

  • browse packages
  • search for packages (using file names or keywords)
  • install/uninstall packages

The GUI is currently written in MFC. The goal is to rewrite the GUI in Qt, thus porting the MiKTeX package manager GUI to GNU/Linux.
