+From: Friedemann Kleint <Friedemann.Kleint@digia.com>

+Subject: [PATCH] Dynamically resolve functions of dwmapi.dll.
+
+The library is not present on Windows XP, for which /DELAYLOAD
+is used in ANGLE. However, as this causes problems with MinGW,
+use dynamic resolution.
+
+Task-number: QTBUG-27741
+Change-Id: I16214d6f98a184d89858c50ee5306371ea25469e
