well, all manually done up to now. ;)

Yes, that would be a big step forward and I do appreciate all the help I got
so far already.

Most support I need re QStandardPaths and I would be stealing some Unix code
from  QStandardPaths::writableLocation() to be found in qstandardpaths_unix.cpp 
where XDG is being used to determine the environment of the system the Qt5
program runs on, using qgetenv() like e.g. this:
---
QString xdgCacheHome = QFile::decodeName(qgetenv("XDG_CACHE_HOME"));
---
Since the CI system - of course - makes use of these XDG environment variables
during the test of every framework and application installed, it would be great
if all these environment vars would be given to the CI system by a patched qt5
as well. I am working on it and will post a RR once I’ve got something working.

Thanks for the flowers. :)
(Well, that was close, just moments before the release.)

Some have moved back to Linux. ;)
