Bug 223687: Consider merging lang/qt5-xml and x11-toolkits/qt5-quick
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=223687



--- Description ---
Creating multiple ports from a single tarball is a headache that gets worse
with every new Qt release.

While I can see the point of splitting qtbase, I'm not so sure about
qtdeclarative, which basically generates qt-qml and qt-quick.

My hypothesis is that ports that depend on qt-qml also depend on the same other
Qt5 ports that qt-quick depends on (or the increase in dependencies would be
minimal).
