Hi! I would like to know first why you want this lib compiled against 
libgstreamer 1.0.

libgstreamer is a build-time dependency, so no, it can't be an optional one.

Now let's suppose you have a very good reason to have it compiled against 
libgstreamer 1.0. Do you know if it will compile if I change the build 
dependencies? Building libqtwebkit4 takes much time and requires almost 4GiB 
of RAM to build. I only have that amount of memory in one of my machines, and 
while compiling it I can't use it for anything else. So if you want to 
convince me to do it, apart from a good reason, I'll require a 
pbuilder/cowbuilder/sbuilder full build log to check that I won't be wasting 
my time nor resources. Of course I wouldn't mind to try for smaller packages, 
but this is a huge beast.

Kinds regards, Lisandro.
