Make sure Qt is configured with both `-static` and `-static-runtime`,
and that it is built with the same compiler as CMake.  See the command
used below to configure the 64-bit Qt build for the cmake.org binaries.
We use Qt 5.6.3 because it is the last to support Windows XP.

Also, Qt 5.6 doesn't quite set up it's CMake targets correctly when doing
a static build.  I had to hack lib/cmake/Qt5Core/Qt5CoreConfig.cmake:

    set(_Qt5Core_LIB_DEPENDENCIES "${_qt5Core_install_prefix}/lib/qtpcre.lib")

The mailing list is fine for this.
