Bug 203032: x11-toolkits/qt4-gui: Build package with QGTKSTYLE option
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=203032



--- Description ---
If this is the incorrect category for this bug report, I apologize in advance. 

Adding QGTKSTYLE to QT4_OPTIONS in make.conf allows Qt to style itself using
GTK themes. As far as I can tell, this option doesn't cause a hard dependency
on GTK, or anything else. Qt will simply shadow the ability to use GTK themes
if GTK is not installed. 

It seems reasonable to include this option with the packages built for the
pkgng repositories. It has no impact on install dependencies, minimal impact on
binary size, and it's how Qt4 packages are built on most Linux distributions. 

I'm also wondering why this is not included as a `make config` option, and if
that fact should also be considered a bug. I do not know the policy on build
options in ports, so I did not file a separate bug for that. 

NOTE: It's also necessary to include the option when building
devel/qt4-corelib, but I thought it was redundant to tag both ports.
