This would be a nice addition.

In Fedora, only the wxWidgets GUI is built:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/mkvtoolnix.git/tree/mkvtoolnix.spec
But that means that mkvtoolnix-gui is actually missing in Fedora. While
it is somewhat unusual for a single package to provide a mix of GTK+ and
Qt GUIs, these are separate programs and the set would seemingly be
incomplete without both. (FWIW it's also unusual to use Rake in a
project which doesn't use Ruby.)
I think this can be GTG as is, once the dependencies are updated for the
libpugixml1 naming.
