Hi Simon

Locale-based base encoding does not make sense. There's no language that does 
that, not even the "C" language speaks hexadecimal :-)

But sure, the porting guide should be updated. I was working on this code in 
QLocale a month ago and I had not even realised that it had changed from Qt 4.

Thanks for the heads-up.
