[Development] Why we *have to* remove codecFor... ?

[1+1=2]

Hi Loaden,

Seems you still use two different sets of source code.

 * Under MSVC 2010, source files saved as UTF8 with BOM.
 * Under Linux GCC, source files saved as UTF8 without BOM.

which means your application is not corss-platform.

And of course, this is a defect of C++ instead of Qt. You should be
aware that there are two character set related to the issue.

 * the set in which source files are written (the source character set),
 * and the set interpreted in the execution environment (the execution
character set).

But unfortunately, even in the era of the C++11, by introducing u8" "
/ u" "/ U" " , only execution character set was solved.

However, if you still use different source codes for different
platforms, like you have done with Qt4, this is still not a problem
for you.
