The buildbot for the QtWebKit port does not currently execute layout tests.  
This is a known issue and is being worked on.  Torch Mobile plans on hosting a 
new buildbot for the QtWebKit port that will have the layout tests turned on.

It is known that lots of tests do not currently pass.  That is a result of 
some bitrot in the implementation of DRT for the Qt port, but it is being 
worked on.  Lots of the failures are a result of problems with DRT rather than 
the Qt port itself.

Again, the current Qt buildbot has issues, but a plan is in place to fix this.
