Public bug reported:

Attempting to build Mudlet 2.0-rc5+ (specifically, mudlet-HEAD-24bbfa4.tar.gz)
on Fedora 14 (x86_64).

The build fails on a missing header file <phonon> in mudlet.h, even
though the Phonon development package is installed (latest available
version = 4.5.0).  Examination of the installed Phonon headers shows
that indeed, there is none named "phonon" or even "phonon.h".  I was
able to work around this by changing mudlet.h to include Phonon's
MediaObject header instead of a nonexistant "phonon" header.

I also modified TLuaInterpreter.cpp and TTrigger.cpp to altogether
remove failing inclusions of <phonon>, since these files' existing
inclusion of mudlet.h made inclusion of <phonon> redundant.

Those changes were sufficient to compile all the sources -- albeit with many warnings -- but the build then failed while trying to link.  Evidently,
1) the hunspell library in Fedora 14 needs to be linked as "-lhunspell-1.2" instead of "-lhunspell", and
2) zlib needs to be explicitly included in the link for it to succeed on Fedora 14

Once those changes were in place, Mudlet built and ran successfully.

I attach a patch showing precisely the changes described above, but I
anticipate that it probably will break the build on some other systems.
