Okay, good, so Windows build case will get no change/special handling then.

Don't think that is an issue here, as any objects/memory regions allocated in 
libQtUiTools.a should be only dealt with inside the library which links 
libQtUiTools.a into itself, like libkjsembed, krossmoduleforms or libplasma, 
and not exchange them with the other.

Thanks for the answer!
