Hi all,

One quick update.  I fixed the freecad patch which included a bad change
and rebased on master of today.
QtWebKit succeeded this time and with opencascade-oce freecad builds and
runs.
Switching to opencascade-occt does not build. It fails with `ld: cannot
find -lXmu` when building the PartDesigner module.

Thanks again,

John
