My particular results of a 'porting test' for a desktop&mobil app (~400k lines 
of code) were quite some code adaptions (not all were documented but could be 
found somewhere in the doc) and a (currently unfixed) bug in the QSettings. 
The latter keeps me from further investigating the port but as a result I 
could run the app (full featured) and found some problems with the style which 
are caused by the removed styles in qt5.

All in all the effort for porting is much much less than I expected (still 
having the pain of qt3->qt4 ports in mind). I expect it to require less than 
2d for the plain porting. Now l'll wait for qt5.1 to give it another shot.

Just my 2ct.
