As per the WSDG, Sect 2.2.10, 5.6.1 is recommended, although there is a -1
build out now from Qt.

I don't think you get the choice of non Open GL for 5.6 onwards.

The docs could be cleaned up a bit here, they should list the recommended
Qt versions for each release and all the examples should be consistent.

Windows is actually a bit further forwards here in the Qt version used,
because of no in-built distribution inertia.
