I believe that QtWebKit on win32 must be compiled via MinGW gcc, not
Cygwin, that's what the trac wiki states.

Make sure the GNUWin32 utils bin and the MinGW bin (usually C:\Program
files\GnuWin32\bin and C:\MinGW\bin), along with your Qt bin dir
(C:\Qt\(version)\bin) is in your path, along with the QTBIN enviroment
variable (check the Qt Command prompt for the exact varname) set to the
Qt Bindir.

If I made an error here, someone feel free to correct it.
