These files are fairly big and completely useless to normal QML operation, so I don't think that Qt will ship and install them.

--find-copies-harder worked very well! The patch is now 30KB (instead of 2.1 MB), but it is not accepted by Reviewboard because it renames files (---fileA +++fileB, where fileA doesn't exist in the Git repository). You can find it here: http://public.steckdenis.be/git/module_versions.diff . Is there a way to still attach this patch to the review request?

Builtins1.qml and Builtins2.qml were "built-in" types for QtQuick 2.0 and QtQuick 1.0 respectively (not the inversion :-) ), and several modules happily depended on both files. This yielded duplicate components (Item is declared in Builtins2.qml, Builtins1.qml and QtQuick.qml that was exactly the same file as Builtins1.qml) and slowed down the parsing of the modules.

When the user imports a module X with a version Y, the file X_Y.qml is imported. In order to keep things simple, every file sharing the same major number (1 or 2) is exactly the same. DeclarationBuilder, when asked to parse a module file having a version X.Y, ensures that only the components having exactly the version X.Y are parsed. The others are skipped in a very fast fashion (visit() returns false and no declaration is opened). When a new Qt version comes out, updating QML/JS is as simple as running qmlplugindump and to overwrite QtQuick_2.*.qml with the output. The dump contains every declaration with the versions in which they appeared. No need to run a Python script or something like that to postprocess the dumps.

Moreover, extra modules like QtQuick.Dialog, QtQuick.Controls, etc, depend on the exact QtQuick version they require. For instance, QtQuick.Dialog depends on QtQuick 2.0 while Qt.labs.shaders depends on QtQuick 1.0.
