Hi Joerg.

Please do not drop of Qt4 support :)

I'm recently replace a big project (based on Qt4) to QBS from MSVC. Nobody
want to port (won't pay me to additional work) this project on Qt5 from Qt4
for QBS support, besides, this porting is a big risk.

Currently we use QBS in own Qt4 project to build of the WIX installer on
Windows, and to build the deb packages on Linux.

If you will drop QBS then it will be big problem for us.. :)

BR,
Denis
