[Development] proposing "removed apis" playground project

[shane.kearns at accenture.com]

This module should be able to host any removed classes if they are technically feasible to build on top of Qt5 after removal from the current library they live in.

You will need to:
get agreement from the maintainer(s) to remove those models from Qt5
submit a patch to actually remove them
submit a patch to add them to the "removed apis" repository
further patches may be required to compile, for example if the class depends on private headers or non exported classes

QFtp was easy to move, QHttp was harder (due to usage of QAuthenticatorPrivate)

QProxyModel also likely belongs in such a module (I think it's deprecated since Qt 4.1).



Possibly QDirModel too (replaced by QFileSystemModel).



Thanks,
