Only two things bug me API wise:
 * QString ifaceName()
   For this kind of things we use QVariant handle() (or something similar) at
   other places of the API, would this one qualify for such a move?

 * QString serialType()
   I'd really like this one use an enum instead, that's what we have
   everywhere else in the API for this kind of cases.

Otherwise it looks fine to me.

So far we have only a partial windows backend anyway...
