Building QtWebengine

"For Windows see here":http://wiki.qt.io/QtWebEngineOnWindows

While this is hidden away in our build system, the build relies on gyp and ninja (fetched along with the chromium sources) to build chromium, hence a build dependency to python, in addition to the usual Qt5 suspects. You currently need at least Qt 5.4 to build QtWebEngine.

Please note that these libraries need to be installed on other distributions as well, though the package names and the set of libraries that are preinstalled may differ depending on the distribution used.

=== Installing dependencies on Fedora (might be outdated):

sudo yum install "qt5-*" ===
