Qt provides a Windows command-line parser too. And if we switch to qmake, it 
will be added too (it's a small static library).

However, the qtmain parser does not handle filenames that can't be represented 
on the Windows "ANSI" encoding. That requires writing Win32 code.

It's something I need to fix for Qt 5, but it's not very easy.
