Description:
Both libBALL as well as libVIEW link against parts of Qt which are not needed, creating uneccessary runtime dependencies. While making application startup a little slower, the real problem of this lies within the creation of packages. If a BALL package gets installed the package menager needs to pull in other unneeded packages that clutter the disk.
Solution:
The attached patch introduces extra build system variables that distinguish between libBALL and libVIEW.
However to avoid this problem in the future it might be helpfull to split up the libraries into modules.
