After some thought, I think we should maintain atleast one stable desktop 
version of QtWebKit in trunk, and I believe Lars already officially stated 
that Qt 5.0 will not be fully ready for the desktop, so I suggest we maintain 
QtWebkit for Qt 4.8 until Qt 5.x is deemed ready for the desktop.

Since we only support Qt 4.8 for WebKit1 where not that much development is 
happening, how much would we gain in dropping that support anyway?
