Thats easy: Wherever you have code that needs functions from these
headers, replace the code with #ifdef Q_OS_UNIX <origincal code> #else
<here you need to write code using the win32 API> #endif.

Of course that would not be needed if you'd use only Qt api, but I guess
there's something in those headers that is not covered by Qt.
