I think in the intervening 4.5 years we've done a good job of removing
the bundled libraries from qt-4 and qt-5 and then qtbase. I'm going to
consider this bug a success. The note in the snippet says there are a
few more bundled libraries, like md5 and sha3 (and harfbuzz) but we've
otherwise done a great job on this one.
