well, it's certainly a step back in some ways (dependency tracking being
the most serious one. rm -rf build/ and a working ccache are your
friends).

you have the master of qmake at your fingertips. ;)

i think that misses the point. the crucial point is providing a module
description file for qmake use (the "module pri file"), so using it from
qmake becomes just QT+=phonon like it was with our internal copy.
you already have a qt_phonon.pri, but it's, err, lagging in content
(it's on qt 4 level). see
http://qt-project.org/wiki/Creating-a-new-module-or-tool-for-Qt#58bc93114d2386b74e861888ac36a384
or any of the qt_*.pri files in $$[QT_HOST_DATA]/mkspecs/modules/
(qmake -query QT_HOST_DATA).
