This should be straight-forward to implement on Windows :). With xcb it seems 
already implemented (check out qxcbwindow.cpp), by posting a 
QEvent::EnterWhatsThisMode event to the application.

On Windows it seems we should check for WM_SYSCOMMAND messages with 
SC_CONTEXTHELP in the lower bits of the parameter and then do the same.
