Really cool!

Part of the API is shared, what is called the "Common API", documented
here: https://bugreports.qt.nokia.com//browse/QTCOMPONENTS-200.

The platforms should first follow this common API, then extend it
according to their needs - so, the import 'platform X' contains the
specific APIs.

This one-import-to-rule-them-all was discussed, I remember someone doing
tests about it, but I don't remember the results, need to check.

Cheers!
