I am not sure it is wise to consider the QPA headers as private, most of them 
are not.

QPlatformInterface, for example, is clearly an exposed type, there is an 
accessor in QGuiApplication that returns a pointer to it.
Obviously the returned object and its functionality is platform specific, but 
afterall its very purpose is to enable platform integration that goes beyond 
the things that can be wrapped in an abstraction across multiple platforms.

Cheers,
Kevin
