-Kill the need to compile Opie against a patched version of Qt/E

 Remove the setStyle and setFont overrides
 as a result remove settings from the buildsystem and the Apperance GUI

We do this as we won't run NeoCal or TKC Apps on a GCC3 (now default compiler)
libqpe, to run these applications one can use oz-compat
