we already have qtbase/src/corelib/kernel/qjni* as a precedent for such central os-specific infrastructure (technically, jni is not system-specific, but we all know why it's there). so unless this is going to be a huge beast, maybe qtbase would be actually a better target? why i asked at all ... i think the original idea was that no essential may depend on an add-on. of course that is sort of arbitrary to start with (something not x-platform is per our definition an add-on, while that actually bears no relevance for the actual importance of that module for its target platform), but as long as the rule exists ...
