When I try to compile the Qt-only version with this patch, I get the following error message from cmake:

CMake Error at data/CMakeLists.txt:275 (find_package):
  By not providing "FindSharedMimeInfo.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this
  project has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by
  "SharedMimeInfo", but CMake did not find one.

  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "SharedMimeInfo"
  with any of the following names:

    SharedMimeInfoConfig.cmake
    sharedmimeinfo-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "SharedMimeInfo" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
  "SharedMimeInfo_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If
  "SharedMimeInfo" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it
  has been installed.

I'm not sure whether the SharedMimeInfo package is available on all platforms we support (esp. the Qt-only ones, e.g. Windows, where it might not be available or applicable). Therefore, I wonder how to proceed. Any thoughts?
