[Development] Feature defines in Qt 5?

[lars.knoll at nokia.com]

The basic problem with the feature defines is that nobody is maintaining
them. There are also way too many of them to be able to test all
combinations, so things are bound to break.

Currently I'm more leaning towards advocating that people do feature
selection based on the modules (shared libs) they include rather than
feature defines. 

Cheers,
Lars
