Not sure what you mean, but I'm actually using your API addition for progress 
display, quite happily so.

When reading this, I thought "erh, wait, I've merged master not long ago", and 
then I realized it's already 3 months ago.

I've just had a quick look at merging master into the plasmaclient branch, and 
much to my surprise: I see qt5 macros. Is mirall master already on Qt5, or is 
that optional?

No. I'd like to keep it all in one repository, and merge the plasmaclient 
branch upstream, so we don't run into outdated trees again.
