Ah, right. That's not a problem. When we did Qt5 a few of the QGL* classes 
where replicated inside the QtGui module. To avoid name clashing they where 
called QOpenGL* instead. So inside src/gui/opengl you will find 
qopenglpaintengine_p.h which contains the class QOpenGL2PaintEngineEx, so you 
can use this. 

I think making QBlitterPaintEngine will lead to a bit of an odd architecture, 
but if your confident that it will solve your problem, then know yourself out 
:)
