I think the approach of per-platform add-ons for stuff that can be
_somehow_ formulated as plattform-independent problem is wrong.

"QPlatformPixmapHandle" with suitable per-platform typedefs or
best-effort approximations are much easier to use in user code
than platform specific #ifdef chains, or worse library additions
to the build system.
