Dropping this because the change turns out to be redundant.

The details (copied from MacPorts' ticketing system):
```
 When you build Qt4 on OS X (or Linux) using gcc or clang, `configure`
 prints a notice when done about how these compilers will by default
 include the infrastructure required for C++ exceptions, how that adds
 considerable overhead, and that it is possible to build Qt without that
 support, resulting in an ABI-compatible install because exceptions aren't
 used internally.

 That latter part is not 100% true: the resulting installation is only ABI
 compatible for software that doesn't require QtXMLPatterns and the full
 QtConcurrent.

 The variant presented here does result in an installation that should be
 100% ABI compatible by undoing the effect of configure's `-no-exceptions`
 for QtCore (and thus QtConcurrent) and QtXMLPatterns. It would have been
 better if QtConcurrent (and XMLPatterns) could be built *with* exceptions
 and the rest without, but that requires much more invasive hacking of the
 build system.
 ```

The -DQT_EXCEPTIONS change was necessary with an earlier version of the 
MacPorts Qt4 variant, before I noticed a section in QtCore/qconfig.h that isn't 
there in a standard build, and that defines `QT_NO_EXCEPTIONS` unless 
`QT_EXCEPTIONS` is already defined.

Adding `-DQT_EXCEPTIONS` to the compilerflags when building client code that 
links against a standard Qt4 variant is nothing more than stating the default. 
I haven't checked whether calligra uses code from Qt4 libraries (as opposed to 
Qt4 *headers*) that requires exceptions, so I cannot tell what line 98 (or its 
absence) do when building against a Qt that's been built with the stock 
-no-exceptions.
