No sign of svg support on Windows.. Great.

Hmm.. There seems to be a way of statically linking in plugins. However,
I have no idea how to make that work. I tried to link in qsvg plugin
statically and that did not add svg to the supported list. I would like
to an installer for the Win32 binary at some point anyway, so adding
some extra files would not be that bad.

That's likely a useful addition anyway, but I would like to see if the
tray icon can be made to work with reasonable amount of work and not too
many extra dependencies for the installation. Then again, I would also
be fine of making a special Win32 build with PNG icon (once I figure out
how to do that ;-) and leave the default to use SVG.
