Qt 5 buildability

Hi all,

I'm not sure about which list is most appropriate for this, so i'm
sending it here.
It seems that changes from Qt 5.3 to 5.4 have introduced a series of
hidden dependencies.

QtWebEngine won't build unless you have nss-devel installed (which it
complains about) but it also won't build unless libcap-devel is
installed (which it doesn't complain about - you only find out when
the compiler bails out on you).

The real big issue here though is none of this is integrated with
./configure, and the failure in QtWebEngine is fatal. Can someone
please raise this with the Qt developers and get them to fix their
build system please?

Thanks,
Ben
