I case you're interested I've written a QML plugin including libiphb (my first attempt was rejected from harbour because I linked dynamically) that has the same properties and methods as the Timer component.
In lack of a better name, I named it Insomniac ;) It's still part of my timer app[1], but I plan to factor it out, clean-up code and document it eventually. An example of it's use can be seen in my main QML file[2]. It's based on libalignedtimer[3], but I've removed any platform specific code to keep it lean. I only got it in a working state in the wee hours this morning, so it's by no means documented and I have to sort out license issues, credits etc. If you follow the harbour naming scheme it should be an almost drop-in replacement; all you have to do is change the module name in qmldir and the PROJECT variable in insomniac.pro.
