The longer I think about it (still trying to get the first QT5 build going)
I'd rather have an install of the "official" packages. I haven't checked
yet whether they put some keys in the registry (because I don't know how/where
to check and it's not high on my list) but it will make things easier for those
who want to try out newer versions than those in our repo.

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
