Summary:                    UseQt4.cmake fails at including module dependencies
Description: 
UseQt4.cmake fails at including proper dependencies. When Having
QT_USE_QTDECLARATIVE enabled, based on the QT_QTDECLARATIVE_MODULE_DEPENDS it
should include QT_QTOPENGL as well.

But since the FOREACH ( UseQt4.cmake Line 81 ) loops over QTOPENGL before
QTDECLARATIVE, the first project does not link to QtOpengl.

( This bug just cost me a day of work )

Steps to Reproduce: 
In you CMakeLists.txt use:

find_package(Qt4 4.7.2 REQUIRED QtDeclarative)
message(STATUS "Libs: " ${QT_LIBRARIES}) # Will not print "libQtOpengl..."
add_subdirectory(./test)

In ./test/CMakeLists.txt do:

find_package(Qt4 4.7.2 REQUIRED QtDeclarative)
message(STATUS "Libs: " ${QT_LIBRARIES}) # WILL print "libQtOpengl..."




Additional Information: 
In my opinion the whole dependency mechanism should be removed completely (
thats what I did for myself now ).

Its a) Error prone b) Incorrect ( declarative does not need OpenGL ) c)
unncessary. Finding out which QtLibs you need is so easy.
