Hello again

I'm inspired today

I'd like to propose that we mark QSettings as Done and move it to a separate 
module, once the task I proposed in "System and global settings and platform 
plugins" is complete.

If there are no global settings to use QSettings in, and there is no global 
cache managed by Qt, Qt won't use QSettings.

The implementation we have is a bit sad: it's slow and it implements its own 
INI file format. It's compatible with the base INI file format for Windows as 
well as the Desktop file format specification (which KDE uses for its settings 
too), but it doesn't support any extension. Nor are any of its extensions 
supported by anyone else.

Once we have a replacement class for it, whcih is easier to use and more 
performant (for example, implemented on top of dconf on Unix), I propose we 
deprecate it.
