AW: Marble compilation on Windows

[Torsten Rahn]

Hi Johnny,
 
> It now builds correctly on the KDE build system:
<https://build.kde.org/view/OS%20-%20Windows/job/Applications/job/marble/>

installer:

The preferred version for Windows would be marble-qt. In terms of 
functionality both versions are equivalent however marble-qt has less 
dependencies and hence results in a much smaller install package.

).
 
I guess this problem wouldn't occur for marble-qt where Marble should end 
up in its own directory under "C:\Programs"
 
Best regards

Thank you,
