Yes we need ICU on Windows and until then the only way of building this module 
in the CI system is by _not_ building it on Windows.

But there is no bug in the .pro files, they are correct.

In the qt5.git builds we essentially run

    qmake qt.pro
    make

where the generated makefile tries to build all modules that were added to 
SUBDIRS. If qtwebkit cannot be built (due to for example lack of ICU), then 
neither qtwebkit nor qtwekbit-examples-and-demos are added to SUBDIRS and the 
top-level build still succeeds - it just won't build those modules.

In the CI build of qtwebkit-examples-and-demos we do something else:

    qmake qt.pro
    make modules-qtwebkit-examples-and-demos

We try to build the specific target to _only_ build qtwebkit-examples-and-demos 
and anything it depends on. Naturally that will fail in a configuration where 
WebKit cannot be built, but that is expected.

I'm not sure what the status of QTQAINFRA-565 is, but in the meantime the 
easiest fix is to exclude windows from the build configs for just this module. 
Is that possible?
