Well, I can understand your point, that it should be as easy as possible
to use the toolchain to build whatever you want...

However, in all the cases where I've been using Qt5 lately, both for
internal projects as well as for customers, we've always ended up
trying to minimize which part of Qt5 we're building. (To reduce build
time, flash usage etc).

With that in mind, I'd prefer a as minimal Qt5 and toolchain as
possible, letting me enable more things easily by using PACKAGECONFIG.

One way to reduce the rather large modification to the toolchain recipe
would likely be to have it RRECOMMEND as much as possible, and only
RDEPEND on the most basic parts of Qt5. (Though, I haven't tried that
version yet).

Cheers,
Anders
