The use flag was added to support a feature that upstream amarok
developers decided to provide to users: being able to use amarok on a
"non-dekstop" box to do the tagging and scanning of the collection. If
upstream wants to drop the support for that, we'll just update the use
flags.
This is not the first time that this support is broken: check commit
b0bef274be1a9741c54c8d32e13d17600c79d300 for a revert done by Jeff
Mitchell to allow building utilities without building the player.
