I was originally on the side of caring about QT_NO_STL, but your
message made me wonder (again) about just how necessary this is. I
think the only target I'd consider really valid for this would be
Android, but from some research, apparently newer Android even ships
an STL as part of the NDK (sans some features like exceptions), and
for older NDKs, I guess bundling might be a solution. So I'm not sure
how relevant that really is. Consider me a tentative +1 unless someone
chirps up with a good platform-based reason for this.

Assuming it isn't an issue (and I guess it's looking like that may be
the case), it would indeed make things a lot easier. Just deprecate
everything we don't like the look of, and use STL directly.
