Thanks for clarifying. I found the official documentation a little
indecisive (and the Qt 4.8 docs call the library QTestLib).

I notice you called it "QtTest", without a space, which is different
from http://qt-project.org/wiki/Spelling_Module_Names_in_Qt_Documentation
-- does the wiki page reflect Qt Project's official policy on names?

That makes sense.

Yes, I noticed that when mapping out Qt 5's structure. There's also no
QtConnectivity, just qtconnectivity.git which contains QtBluetooth and
QtNfc (although those don't seem ready for release yet).
