all my fixes should be already part of the Subsurface and
googlemaps-plugin repositories, unless Stefan is referring to a patch
that we missed.
QtLocation and QtPositioning were added around Qt 5.0, but we only
support down to the 5.5 due to using some newer features in the
googlemaps-plugin if i recall correctly.
