When we package Qt, it is split into a number of packages for individual 
components; however if you install the qt4-x11-free *package* in your image, 
this pulls in everything. What you probably want to do is have a look at the 
packages it does produce and only include those that you need in your image 
rather than the qt4-x11-free package.

One way to get a list of the packages produced is to look in tmp/work/*/qt4-
x11-free*/packages-split/.

Cheers,
Paul
