that's what i meant.

we already have qtbase/src/corelib/kernel/qjni* as a precedent for such
central os-specific infrastructure (technically, jni is not
system-specific, but we all know why it's there).

so unless this is going to be a huge beast, maybe qtbase would be
actually a better target?

why i asked at all ... i think the original idea was that no essential
may depend on an add-on. of course that is sort of arbitrary to start
with (something not x-platform is per our definition an add-on, while
that actually bears no relevance for the actual importance of that
module for its target platform), but as long as the rule exists ...
