Is there a way to get nmake to compare version strings? We can get the
Qt version easily enough using `qmake -query QT_VERSION`. Otherwise
we'll probably have to add more DLL checks to
packaging/nsis/Makefile.nmake. According to the release notes
Qt5WebSockets.dll was added in 5.3. Although I suppose another
alternative might be to move the Qt version detection logic from
packaging/nsis/Makefile.nmake to windeployqt-to-nsis.
