It looks like we can support arbitrary locations, at least with the
official Qt installer. Qt binaries on Windows have their path hard-coded
although it's possible to change them:

The official installer adjusts the prefix automatically when you install
in a non-standard location. The packages I built don't and would require
manual adjustment.
I checked in a change to look for Qt in both C:\Qt and
WIRESHARK_LIB_DIR. The next step is to get it installed without too much
fuss. I don't think we should add it to the list of libraries handled by
"process_libs" since that would mean waiting for half a GB to unpack
every time you run "setup".
