[webkit-qt] Currently Missing Features with QtWebkit / QNetworkAccessManager

[Benjamin Meyer]

Not sure if anyone would find this useful or not, but for Arora I made a class (plus autotests) that lets you share one networkaccessmanager for all webpages, and has the ability to let you know which request came from which webpage.

Initial commit:
http://github.com/Arora/arora/commit/bfb89a5ff54566a4b8d39f44fce327f4c7f12d38

Also I have a way to add new scheme handlers and there is filtering for the adblock support.  Might be something that can be re-used there.
