[Interest] Qt 5.13 Bluetooth Windows

[ekke]

sorry - I'm not using BLE advertising or Beacons yet

I'm connecting BLE devices to my mobile apps (Android, iOS,
Windows10-Touch-Devices):

* GeneralScan BLE Barcode Readers
* NFC Reader (to enable reading UUID from NFC Tags on iOS via BLE)
* Addimat Waiterlock to Login/Logout users with magnetix keys
* BLE Smartcard Reader - work-in-progress
* mobile BLE Printers (REGO, Zebra) - work in progress

really cool to see that now BLE starts working on windows, too
