[Interest] Problem configuring Qt 5 on Windows

[andy fillebrown]

Ok, so after getting configure -help to work I get the expected list
of options followed by ...

+ D:/-/usr/src/qt/5.0.0/qtbase/bin/qmake D:/-/usr/src/qt/5.0.0/qtsdk.pro
'D:/-/usr/src/qt/5.0.0/qtbase/bin/qmake' is not recognized as an
internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

--------------

Apparently it's assuming qmake is built.  Not a big deal but it's a
little embarrassing when the configure step 1) doesn't work, and 2)
outputs spurious errors.  If this is an indicative of how the rest of
my Qt 5 experience will go, I'm more than a little worried.
