[Development] Making WEC7 builds blocking on CI

[Björn Breitmeyer]

Hey,

thanks for you effort. The enforcing build would be very helpful.

The most important issues we had during the last few month were changes in 
qmake, arch detection :) and some additions to the windows plugin. Besides
changes to the windows platform plugin most changes were not  really 
troubling, its usually about platform plugin features that are not available 
on windows ce.

What more people should actually care about and which is not tested by the ci 
yet is that we had real issues with people break QT_NO_... there are some hard 
things we just don't have on windows ce and we run into those quite often. So 
if you add new patches it would be great to look out of for QT_NO_CURSOR
QT_NO_ACCESSIBILITY QT_NO_PRINTER an more stuff like that.

If you happen to work on the windows platform plugin, here are some 
recommendations. If you have functions taking strings that come in an A and W 
version( ansi and widestring(utf16) ) use the W version as that is usually 
available on ce too. And if you are unsure if the winapi function you used is 
available on ce too, just google function name msdn wince and you will usually
get your answer in matter of a seconds.

Besides that we of course had our low level arm fun, but thats mostly sorted 
out until there is a new javascriptengine.

Best regards
Björn Breitmeyer
