Everything that applied to Qt 4 still applies to Qt 5.

What did change is that I improved that support a bit in Qt 5, added Windows-
MSVC support (see [1]) and cleaned up the older SIMD, like MMX. I have also a 
huge patch of pending changes to improve even further, but I haven't managed 
to fix some "WIP" that have been there for over a year.

There are now some pending patches I'm reviewing that improve SIMD support on 
MIPS.
