i guess we have the option to wait until Qt and MXE goes back to
QtWebKit officially.
such a build will have both BLE and QtWebkit for Windows?

what i really wanted us to have, even if we don't release official /
experimental BLE support for Windows soon, is to have a Windows BLE
installer that i can point users to so that they can test their DCs.
right now i have to point them either to an old version (was it -46)
or to my own build which is super haxored and even lacks QImage
support.

if -46 is sufficient for this we can continue recommending it.
