Yes, the QPixmap API is platform-independent, completely. The equivalent 
fromWinHBITMAP, fromMacCGImageRef, fromSymbianCFbsBitmap, fromSymbianRSgImage 
and fromX11Pixmap are also gone.

QPixmap qt_pixmapFromWinHICON(HICON icon);

I can't find it in any header and it isn't documented, but it's exported from 
QtGui. Therefore, treat it as private API for now, until future plans emerge.

For the X11 ones, the idea is to add it to the proposed QtX11Support library, 
which would also bring back QX11Embed{Container,Widget}, QX11DisplayInfo, etc. 
I don't know where the Mac plans place theirs.
