[Development] Heads up: Source incompatible change for qtbase

Hello,

I take the blame for breaking the qtwebkit build by merging the 
QQuickItem::pos() API change, and fully agree with Simon that a good way 
to prevent these issues in the future is to send a notice to the mailing 
list about SIC changes.

We're now trying to get https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,41252 
in before the Qt 5.0.0 release. It removes some forwarding compatibility 
functions that were added to not cause any breakages when changing some 
APIs earlier in November.

In qt5.git it breaks qtdeclarative, so we're fixing that first with 
https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,41267

It also breaks qtwebkit, but we've fixed it with 
http://pastebin.com/JCSmhzeD which Simon has pushed to qt5.git's 
qtwebkit repo.

Apart from those, I didn't see any qt5.git breakages on Linux, and Shawn 
is currently testing on Windows and Mac.
