Well I definitely agree with that, and no, I don't know if Windows  
itself or Qt on Windows is stranger.

Not really, but would not be surprised if whatever is handed off to the  
mechanism which actually opens a file is doing some invisible magic  
behind the scenes that counteracts your changes.  I wonder if running  
through a debugger might show it, although it might require creating

Two minor points, although I doubt either matters much in the short run:

CMake Warning:
   Manually-specified variables were not used by the project:

     CMAKE_INSTALL_SYSTEM_RUNTIME_LIBS_SKIP

If it's not used, we should either drop it, or find out why if it's  
needed to do something important.


I can't tell from the output whether it's using webkit or webengine,  
but I think webkit it currently the default.  Should that default  
eventually get switched, as I think qtwebkit is deprecated?
