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.

I think that sort of thing is difficult in nmake, it can't pick up return values from external programs, so moving it to the PS script is probably the best idea.  That will also work with CMake then.
