Our QPlatformTheme does depend on KF5, and I don't see how we're going to
be able to work without that dependency, we'll just have to release it
together with Qt. Let's work with this assumption...

On the other hand, I agree that doing this kind of things is a bit at the
limit of what QPT does... I don't know how much of a hack is to have this
in KStyle...
