in the near future, Nokia will split the QT repo into several smaller 
modules, 
such as qt-core, qt-sql, qt-script, etc.

<http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2011/01/21/status-of-qt-modularization/>
Tarballs will released independently for each module.
All embedded libraries such as jpeg, clucene, phonon are removed.

This means some major changes to the build process.
. multiple spells
. no need to specify --with-system-jpeg
. required modules can be added or updated independently
. much smaller downloads.

I suggest that we create a new qt-modules section for this.

Any spells which have a subdepends for some qt module should be modified to 
depend directly on that module.

This obviously includes all kde4 stuff, but that change is relatively small, 
as 
it is at the section KDE_DEPENDS level

There are also a number of other things which depend on qt4.

I would suggest creating a devel-qt-modular branch.


Any comments?
