[Interest] Problem configuring Qt 5 on Windows

[andy fillebrown]

Whelp, all the examples and tests are being built.  Bummer.  I'm
thinking now that it might be because I used the -r flag for the call
to qmake.

I'm going to let it finish building so I have something to work with.
After it's done I'll try another build without the -r flag to see if
that resolves the issue.

Cheers,
~ af
