I haven't looked closely at the patches, but we're also disabling lots
of stuff (though, quite a bit of that comes from meta-oe). Thus, I'm
leaning towards an easier way to handle this.

We're currently using an approach were we add to QT_CONFIG_FLAGS, to set
our desired config, and oe_filter_out() to remove certain defaults from
oe-core and meta-oe. Thus, everything that can help reduce this mess is
something we'd appreciate.

Cheers,
Anders
