Hi all,

I've recently been working on an update for
http://qt-project.org/wiki/Qt_5_Structure. The diagram doesn't show
the DLL/SO/DYLIB names, but I hope this will be helpful for
solidifying conventions for Qt 5 as a whole.

Apart from the Enginio, there are other oddities in our names/numbers:

- The 2 ActiveQt modules are named like classes ("QAxServer", "QAxContainer")
- We have a QML module called "Qt.WebSockets 1.0". I'd expected it to
be "QtWebSockets 1.0", without the dot like all other modules (except
Qt.labs), as documented [1].
- A newcomer might come to the conclusion that "QtQuick.Controls 1.1"
goes with "QtQuick 1.1".

Please let me know if any details are wrong. For those who're
interested, the source code (QML) for the diagram is at
https://github.com/JKSH/Qt5StructureDiagram.


Regards,
Sze-Howe
