FYI Windows CMake doesn't currently seem to configure without Qt, I'm
not too fussed about that as on Windows the Qt version is the main build.

to build TShark for headless machines).

That might change some day for, say, headless Windows machines (I always
find the notion of "headless Windows" amusing; in the world of the Internet
of Things, if things go the way Microsoft wants them to, more machines
running "Windows" may be incapable of displaying actual *windows* than
capable of displaying them).


Good point, I forgot about folks wanting to build only tshark.  IIRC the
issue is that some of the CMake tasks to copy the 3rd party DLL's etc. seem
to complain if Qt isn't found.  Should be able to fix that up.
