Thanks again. I'll look into somethings we don't really use (and don't 
pretend to do so) and rip them off as my app keeps on running, lol.

It would be awesome to provide a barely minimal and downsized package for mobile clients (which I'm now focused), as an example.

Even if you don't disable SVG in WebKit, you don't need QtSvg and corresponding imageformat plugin - WebKit's implementation of SVG is independent and much more complete.
