Orthogonal but related, the patch kind of exposed a serious CI 
configuration problem: if SSL support gets accidentally disabled, the CI 
will still pass for a given configuration.

I guess CI configurations are simply using autodetection, and if SSL 
stops being detected for whatever reason (say, we break a cmake file), 
then the build just proceeds under QT_NO_SSL. If that's the case, should 
just always enforce SSL presence at Qt configure time?

(And should this enforcement be generalized to other important 3rd 
parties for which autotests exist? E.g. image formats.)

Thank you,
