I think depending on Qt 5.6 (which is just a few weeks(!) old) is indeed not a 
good idea, even in master.

The qtwebengine support is still optional (i.e. messagelib can be compiled 
without, right?), so why force 5.6 on users just because of an optional 
dependency? You should try to keep it optional for the time being.

I'm also saying this as developer who (sometimes) compiles kdepim. Not even 
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (unreleased) ships Qt 5.6, thus I wouldn't be able to kdepim 
against my distro Qt.

Cheers,
Kevin
