Well Mac and X11 platforms have internal functions to process messgaes:
    int              macProcessEvent( MSG * );
    int              x11ProcessEvent( XEvent* );
whereas Windows doesn't. I believe from this we can deduce that Qt on
Windows uses a window procedure to process messages instead of a
win32ProcessEvent method or in processNextEvent as you are doing at the
moment.
I might try moving the stuff from processNextEvent to a window procedure at
some point.
