Here is my notice that I would really like to see the following get merged for 
inclusion to 5.1:

https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,44780
https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,44782
https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,44783
https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,44784
https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,44785
https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,44786
https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,44788

I am refactoring some stuff in the code generator based upon Samuel's and 
Peppe's feedback which I hope to have ready in the next day or two. Once the 
first few are in the rest should be quickly fixed up.

Cheers,

Sean
