It's also stated in a bit roundabout way. If you look at
     http://qt-project.org/wiki/Qt-Essentials-Modules
it'll say
     "The Qt Essentials modules are mandatory in all platforms."
while the same is not stated on the
     http://qt-project.org/wiki/Qt-Add-ons-Modules
it says
     "Add-ons can be included optionally in Qt enabled platforms."

So, it already says that that Essentials works on all platforms, while 
add-ons may only work on some. And many of the previous Qt Mobility 
modules only have backends that work on some platforms, for example.
