For the record: On opensuse the private headers are also available in
the mingw32-libqt5-qtbase-devel package for cross compiling windows builds.

I understand.

yes, It would be nice to see how you packaged it and if it is better as
the one I did at
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:rhabacker:branches:KDE:Qt54/libqt5-qtmodeling,
which is based on a recent libqt5-... package and could be easily ported
to a mingw32|64 related package for cross compiling windows builds. 
While setup the package I recognized that QtModeling do not use a
version management, which would help to build packages. I used a fake
version of 0.9.0
