QWebHistoryItemPrivate is marked with Q_AUTOTEST_EXPORT. However that macro only works for libraries inside of Qt - we choose not to define things like QT_BUILDING_QT and QT_BUILD_INTERNAL.

We could introduce our own Q_AUTOTEST_EXPORT macro or we could simply export this one class that exists only in a private header file only. I'm going to take the latter approach.

Looks good to me. I assume this was the only place where we had Q_AUTOTEST_EXPORT.
