This is a heads-up regarding the renaming of QML C++ classes.  As per 
https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-23737 class names that currently 
begin with QDeclarative* will be renamed Qml*, for example QDeclarativeEngine 
will become QmlEngine.

This change is needed because QtQuick 1 has been split out into its own library 
including its own (JSC-based) engine.  We needed to do this because there are 
changes being done in the QML2 engine that are not compatible with 
QML1/QtQuick1.  This has caused some class duplication which prevents Quick2 
and Quick1 from being used together.  We have little choice but to rename some 
classes.  The new class names are far better than the old, so there is an 
aesthetic improvement for QML2 as a much welcomed side effect.

The changes are:
- QDeclarative* classes renamed to Qml*
- any class previously imported as e.g. <QtDeclarative/QDeclarativeEngine> will 
become <QtQml/QmlEngine>
- to use QML/QtQuick2: 'QT += declarative quick' becomes 'QT += qml quick'
- many private classes are also renamed to either Qml* or QQuick*

We expect this change to be made within the next week.

Br,
Martin.
