If you're adapting the change so that it compiles or simply fixing a conflict, 
then it's fine to do it in the same change. For example, in Qt 5 the atomics 
require a .load() and .store(), but there are no such methods in Qt 4. That 
would be an acceptable change.

It's also acceptable to leave out part of the change if it doesn't apply to Qt 
4, like change to a source that doesn't exist.

If you're doing more than trivial modifications, then it needs to be a new 
change, and it needs to be justified why you're not doing it in Qt 5 first.
