Building QGroundControl is a rather large endeavor and ideally one that should only be done by the core developers. I'm not certain if this is possible/reasonable, but Qt offers a plugin framework that might be useable here to simplify UI widget development. If the plugins work as I understand compilation of these widgets can be done without recompiling the application. Loading would be dynamic and entail the scanning of a plugin directory on startup of QGC.
