+6) Setting up so that you can use python proxy from the debug version. This is

+   necessary as PYQT5 build doesn't supply debug- and non-debug versions and it

+   appears the debug- and non-debug versions of the QT5 dlls don't play nicely

+   together.

+   Firstly, go to your build and run configuration in QTCreator, and *remove* 

+   the qt bin dir from your build environment's PATH.

+   Then, in the DLLs directory, copy QT5Cored.dll to QT5Core.dll. Similary for

+   QT5Guid.gll and QT5Widgetsd.dll.

+   If you don't do both of these, then the program will die silently (if double

+   clicked) or print an obscure message about complaining you called QPixmap before 

+   calling QApplication.
