Including it as a sub-module is exactly what qt5.git did, so qbs was
using it exactly the way qt5 used it.  This is not a fork: a fork has
separate development that isn't being merged back to the upstream.  If
the QBS team had any patches for QtScript or the QML parser, using them
as sub-modules meant that their fixes went into the upstream module, so
was used by Qt5 as soon as it was in use by QBS (give or take qt5's
integration delays).  Please don't misrepresent the history.
