[Interest] qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.2.1.zip broken?

[Guido Seifert]

Looks like the hint I found here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4699311/how-to-install-qt-on-windows-after-building/17640221#17640221

--> cd <path>
--> installer.exe --runoperation QtPatch windows <path> qt5

worked. At least as far as I could verify it at the moment. So generally with some cleanup work I can 
get a self compiled Qt5, which is equivalent to one of the official installer packages. A perfect 
solution this this certainly not.
