+### Notes (TODO: move)
+* Windows: MSVC compiler is required because of QtWebEngine dependency
+* Windows: Passing the -v or -h parameters creates a dialog box instead of
+writing the output to stdout. This is Qt behaviour.
+* Windows: Use windeployqt.exe to collect the libraries
+```
+QT_DIR\QT_VER\msvc2015_64\windeployqt.exe build-PROFILE\release\qtbrowser.exe
+```
+* grsecurity: You may need to exception qbs.
+
+An optional system proxy should be picked up automatically. However, for proxies
+that require a username or password, you need to connect to
+QWebEnginePage::proxyAuthenticationRequired.
+
+Qt WebEngine Widgets uses the Qt Quick Scene Graph to compose the page.
+Therefore, OpenGL support is required.
+And that's also why QML is a dependancy.
+
+To use clang with QtCreator, you need to change the compiler in
+Build & Run ยป Kits, not the qbs profile.
