[webkit-qt] Qt 4.8/Webkit 2.2 no audio/video tag support

[Alexis Menard]

On Windows, WebKit uses Qt Multimedia.

They should be supported but you may encounter some issues if you use
the WebKit which comes inside Qt 4.8. Why?

Because QtWebKit depends on QtMultimedia and inside Qt 4.8 we don't
have QtMultimedia (the version inside is deprecated, it is in
QtMobility) so it makes impossible to enable it.

I recommend you to build QtWebKit 2.2 out of Qt.
