[Interest] QML WebView modules

[Mark Tucker]

I'm not using the SDK installer - I compiled my own version of Qt from the 5.5.1 sources. There doesn't seem to be anything included in that tarball that is the QtWebView module.

Is it a separate download?

If you are using Qt SDK installer, you probably need to build it from source, as there is no binary component for 5.5.1 or earlier
