[webkit-qt] Need help with optional features

Hi,

   I'm building Qt 5.3 (from git) under windows 7 with msvc2010. I wan 
to enable some addidional features. The problem is: every time I modify 
features.pri (when I enable a feature) I get compilation error.

   I'm trying to solve this couple of days now and it's a little 
frustrating. First, I've enabled many of these features in command line 
(build-webkit perl script parameters) with hope that it will increase 
support for html5. Compilation failed, too long command at some point. 
Then I've found features.pri. So I've enabled many of them there. 
Compilation failed with an error. I've found that error, disabled 
responsible feature, build again. Another error. I've found that error, 
disabled responsible feature, build again. Another error. I've found 
that error, disabled responsible feature, build again... and i'm running 
win 7 on virtual machine, every compilation is about 1 hour (or more). 
At some point I realised that this is hopeless and I've changed my 
strategy. I've returned to default settings and enabled only one 
feature. Compilation failed. I've enabled other feature. Compilation 
failed. Well... Hm...

The question is: why are some features disabled? Are they incomplete? 
Are they only for webkit devs? End user shoudn't modify this file? I'm 
totally lost.

Thanks,
Emanuel
