[Interest] Building qt4 on mac with -no-webkit

[Michael Jackson]

This is what I use on OS X 10.6.8 and 10.8 builds using the Qt 4.8.4 "everywhere" source package.

./configure -opensource -nomake demos -nomake examples -debug-and-release -shared -fast -exceptions -stl -no-qt3support  -no-webkit -no-phonon -largefile -arch x86_64  -prefix /Users/Shared/Toolkits/Qt-4.8.4 -Dmmacosx-version-min=10.6

And I definitely do NOT get WebKit built and it builds just fine. From what I can tell.
