Qt PIM is not part of the alpha. It's not an essential.

No, Phonon is not part of the alpha since it got no activity during the Qt 5 
time. Just like ActiveQt, it compiles but since no one is doing anything on 
them, we decided we cannot release them until someone steps up to check that 
they actually work and decide what their future will be.

Other modules were excluded from the second alpha package because they don't 
compile on the reference platforms.
