I admit I don't understand this change. Can you help me understand? :)

I'll explain the intentions of the current design first:

qwebkitplatformplugin.h declares a set of pure interfaces. There are no symbols meant to be defined and exported by QtWebKit.dll that correspond to this interface. Instead the Qt interface cast mechanism is mean to provide a type-safe cast to the initial instance (QWebKitPlatformPlugin) and its versioning mechanism (that works on the basis of string comparision) makes it safe.

The header file is designed to be _copied_ into a use-case (or platform) specific plugin project that is deployed together with QtWebKit on the target platform.
