Qt 4.8.7 Status

[17:12:38] <fkleint> yep, some semi-qualified fiddling made  WinCE enforcing
[17:13:10] <fkleint> gives us an idea what  LTS will imply..
[17:13:11] <jaheikki3> Last ones might be related to one CI machine. That machine offline now & new integration try ongoing

[17:20:37] <akseli> fkleint: that is the plan
[17:20:42] <fkleint> [concern is that Windows 10 still requires some fixes when it comes out]
