Yes, my plan is to wait till they finish the API and backport the API to qt 4.x, sadly AFAIK there is no ETA for this API, they have something but doesn't seem to be finished.  Check /qt5/qtbase/src/gui/kernel/qplatformtheme_qpa.h and qt5/qtbase/src/widgets/kernel/qplatformmenu_qpa.h

It's up to you !
The implementation should be straightforward, IMHO the biggest challenge will be to re-implement the QMenu(Bar) without breaking the API/ABI.
