Upstream has moved to QT 4.8.5 [1] and had a new release [2].

It might now be easier to workout how much of a burden carrying this as a patch
would be on the QT maintainers?

If the burden is too much we might seek a bundling exception due to how
extensive the modifications are [3].

I have uploaded some test packages of builds for the latest master branches
[4], in case anyone wants to see how the new features play out.
