Thanks, I found the commit at 
http://qt.gitorious.org/~peter-h/qt/peter-hs-qtbase/commit/1ee11474622e7da068fb1cd26f509ed10848a3b5 
  It says that "no one used those headers in Qt 4", but well... I did  :-)

FWIW, in general, as a C++ programmer, I prefer to type class names and 
#include statements, which are checked at compile time, rather than 
literal strings, which are only checked at run-time. But if the 
QODBCDriver class is unsupported, I'll stop using it, of course!
