This abstraction imposed serious performance penalties and is being
dropped from the public API.
In particular, by allowing file names to be arbitrarily hijacked by
different file engines, and requiring engines to be instantiated in
order to decide, it imposed unnecessary overhead on all file operations.
Another flaw in the design with direct impact on performance is how
engines have no way to provide (or retain) additional information
obtained when querying the filesystem. In many places this has meant
repeated operations on the file system, where useful information is
immediately discarded to be queried again subsequently.
For Qt 4.8 a major refactoring of the code base took place to allow
bypassing the file-engine abstraction in select places, with
considerable performance gains observed. In Qt 5 it is expected we'll be
able to take this further, reaping even more benefits, but the
abstraction has to go.
[Dropping this now does not preclude that virtual file systems make an
appearance in Qt at a later point in Qt 5's lifecycle. Hopefully with a
new and improved abstraction.]
Forward declarations for QFileExtension(Result) were dropped, as the
classes were never used or defined.
Tests using "internalized" classes will only fully run on developer
builds. QFSFileEngine was removed altogether from exception safety test,
as it isn't its intent to test internal API.

Check the QT_OUTPUT_PATTERN environment variable in the default
message handler to customize the output of messages. Following
place holders are right now supported:
%{message}, %{type}, %{file}, %{line}, %{function}
