[Development] Webkit build failing because W32 command-line length limit

[andy fillebrown]

I don't build the WebKit module anymore, but when I did I made sure the Qt
source tree was in a directory with a very short name, like D:\Qt-5.1.0.
 That way the command line stays small enough to make it through the build.

Cheers,
