Hi,

I'm wondering whether we should remove ActiveQt from the MinGW binary packages, 
and skip it by default if we build for MinGW.

I'm not an expert on ActiveQt, but my understanding is that it's of minor use 
without an IDL compiler. MinGW doesn't offer one, which is why all examples 
except the 'webbrowser' one are skipped for MinGW ... and that one crashes:

https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-32140

So, any thoughts on this? Surely the bug above mentioned can be fixed, but is 
there any use of shipping ActiveQt for MinGW if there is no idl compiler? I 
understood you can't just use the Microsoft midl one ...

Regards

Kai
