It is fragile and broken and just waiting to fall apart.

3) in my case would have been 'normal' or 'important', but the fact that it 
uses *its own* copy of headers and the actual symbols from Qt is just broken.
Had it at least used it's own copy of qzip.cpp,  we could have started a 
discussion, but this isn't the case. (src/CMakeLists.txt in the archive 
contains IF(!WIN32), and given it is more or less nonsense from a cmake pov, 
it just evaluates to false. IF(NOT WIN32) would likely have given closer to 
expected behaviour )
