Nothing's changed on either side, unfortunately. We still NEED
qtwebkit, and the situation upstream is still a confusing pile of
excrement and misinformation.

Yes. You can build without it, but that's really just a hack to allow
a build to proceed. The resulting QGIS app will be crippled and
missing core functionality.
