Hi,

this patch adds QtWebKit 5.7 as a separate package (hopefully this will reduce security concerns: only packages which really need QtWebKit will include it).

QtWebKit is not officially supported anymore as of Qt 5.6, so this is a “community release” (not exactly sure what that entails, or if this includes any updates at all since the Qt 5.5 version).  I suppose many projects are switching to Qt WebEngine, and there are some efforts to create an updated version of QtWebKit (https://github.com/annulen/webkit), but in the mean time, this package might help build packages which still rely on the old QtWebKit.

By default, the qmake build system for qtwebkit insists on installing into the same prefix as qtbase, and it seems no command line parameters will change that. The solution I came up with, was to substitute all the necessary paths in the generated Makefiles. This makes the patch a bit lengthy.

I've also attached a minimal example.
