Broken Trolltech configure. It doesn't generate the appropriate
#define's when building Qt, fooling PyQt (and others) into thinking that
there are symbols available for some classes that really aren't there.

It's a problem only (AFAIK) for Debian and Mandrake, as others build
those symbols into the main Qt lib. You need to create a custom
"features" file like this:

  -x Qt_STYLE_CDE
  -x Qt_STYLE_MOTIFPLUS
  -x Qt_STYLE_MOTIF
  -x Qt_STYLE_PLATINUM
  -x Qt_STYLE_SGI
  -x Qt_STYLE_WINDOWS

I also add this to the build.py on Debian's packages:
