If you really want to do this, you can always patch qglobal.h where qsizetype 
is defined. Since this is a binary-incompatible build anyway, you'll have to 
always rebuild from source, so patching is not a huge step to require.

Whether we support that or not is a different story. A lot of code will assume 
that sizeof(qsizetype) == sizeof(quintptr) and that might break if you patch 
Qt.
