As last option may be, but not in the first place. If others would do
the same, this - in conjunction with openssl' BC problems - will result
in cases where a non wanted openssl release would be used, which is very
hard to track down. It must be possible to use at first a library
located in the Qt's dll directory and then the pathes in the PATH
environment var.
