It would be nice if we could have kQOauth ([1]) as an add-on module in 
Qt ([2]); I am in contact with the kqOAuth author and from what I can 
remember he liked the idea. I guess that this would be all it takes to 
make it work with Qt 5, but I have never verified that.

Also, talking about OAuth is a bit confusing because it comes in two 
versions: OAuth 1.0a, which you want to use with a 3rd party library 
like kQOAuth, and OAuth 2, which I believe is simple enough to do on top 
of QNetworkAccessManager. Both versions are currently in use, while I 
think new APIs tend to use OAuth 2 more.
Here some examples, I hope they are still up to date:

OAuth 1.0a: Twitter, Flickr, Dropbox
OAuth 2:    Facebook, Youtube, Foursquare
