From 6f1ad48a9115ff415b0496927451d0f7f5ea284c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: Remove -fw and -l command line arguments

These arguments were nonsensical, as they would lead to every single Qt
module linking to those libraries. This was probably some left-over from
old times, when Qt was just a single library.
