this report is completely useless. there is no binary compat promise
between major qt versions.

this report could be more useful. for example, the qtphonon and
qt3support parts have been intentionally removed. still listing them in
the report (especially in full detail) is just adding noise. some parts
have been "demoted" to private api - it's technically correct to list
them, but not in this much detail.
the parser doesn't seem to be too clever - iiuc, it appears to be
complaining about merged overloads.
