Although this is a nice and simple way to get a running
shared Qt, this will produce quite big DLL files.

This is because all DLLs will contain all (statically
linked) helper libraries. I don't know how much of a
problem this is for Qt. But I guess the only "clean"
solution is to build everything as a shared library,
not just Qt.

Which leads us back to a recurring issue of static vs
shared: Once I implemented our multi-target approach,
does it make sense to apply this to static/shared, i.e.
treating the "mainly-static" and "mainly-shared"
approaches as two separate targets?
