so i was finally able to connect the OSTC+ (BLE) on Windows with Qt,
but now a Win32 developer introduced new functionality in the windows
branch for QtConnectivty and the moment i synced with the remote
branch it required me to build against a newer version of qtbase,
which completely messed up by Qt build.

...and now i cannot build Qt because of a weird qmake issue which is
present in 5.10 and 5.11. maybe it's my compiler.
when i get this sorted i will deploy new test binaries for people to test.

PS: i would like the point out that the qt build system is a peace of
cra*p that only works in theory.
