 So we no longer care that it noticeably increases build times or it doesn't 
do so anymore?

 Using or not using -no-stl is different. If you use -no-stl when building Qt, 
there's no STL support at all. If you use QT_NO_STL, just the STL-related 
stuff in .h files is #ifdef-ed out, but when it's needed it's just a matter 
of changing QT_NO_STL. Compiling Qt with -no-stl seems stupid. Compiling KDE 
without QT_NO_STL, unless needed, seems unnecessary.
