What i decided to do here:
- Compile phonon in qt 4.5 to have webkit.
- At install stage remove all phonon installed related files

Since the webkit package would have a requirements to libphonon.so.4, when we 
try to install it pull down system phonon package

The only catch is have same ABI compat phonons, in our KDE case is 4.3.0, 
fully compatible with Qt one.

I know this is a little ugly, but fits well for our current situation.
