Support Illumos/OpenIndiana #1653

Please consider it. On OpenIndiana we have Firefox as the default and only web browser but it's an outdated version (60 ESR) and it's slow to startup and usually hangs. So it's great if we could have Otter worked on OI. We already have modern GCC and Qt5 there but we lacked QtWebEngine (well, since Chromium is not yet ported to OI). Otter still supports QtWebKit, doesn't it? Unfortunately, we don't have QtWebKit packaged, either. But I think it's fine to compile QtWebkit from source, isn't it?

p/s: I'm just a normal user and in no way have any relationship with the OpenIndiana project, so it's just my own opinion.

Sorry, I created this issue too soon. OpenIndiana currently has an incomplete qt5 package. It even doesn't have qmake! Compiling QtWebKit took too much time for me so I'm rather give up. When OpenIndiana has a complete qt5 package, I will try to build Otter on it again. But now I think I would just close this issue. Sorry because of the inconvenient I have made. Bye.
