[webkit-qt] Reproducing buildbot layout test results

[Antonio Gomes]

Hey Kling.

Many had tried the same as far as I can tell, including myself,
however I also I failed to get that working equally to the bot. From
what I remember, the bots run Debian Lenne and some font library
versions (fontconfig) mismatch to the ones newer Ubuntu's ship. Back
on time, it was pointed out as the main reason for the pixel
differences in the results.

Szege guys could answer with more details, I think.

ps: It sounds like a good time to migrate to Ubuntu: Qt4.7,
QtWebKit2.0, and all fresh "new". It deserves a new life to the bots
:)
