The Qt getting started tutorial is based on the "notepad" example files
in this directory, the gettingStarted/gsQt files are completely unused
and not referenced in documentation.

The tutorial is building an elaborate UI around a QMap. It doesn't use
structured data, and it doesn't use model/view (which the dedicated
addressbook example in itemviews does).
It's not a good way of building an application, and the individual APIs
for creating layouts, dialogs, or import/export are explained well
enough in other examples.

Examples are intended to show how to build against an installed Qt.
Building them as part of the main build means the way the Qt targets
are defined and created are not representative of an end user's build.
By building them as separate projects using ExternalProject, we can
more closely replicate the intended audience's environment. This
should allow us to catch more problems earlier.
Having examples built as part of the main build also creates problems
with some static builds where a tool built by the main build is needed
during configure time. This happens with other repos like qtdeclarative
but not (currently) with qtbase. Converting the examples in qtbase to
be built using ExternalProject is intended as a demonstrator for how
other repos can do similar. Until other repos are converted, they will
continue to work as they did before, with examples as part of the main
build for non-static builds only.
The new build-externally behavior is only supported for non-prefix
builds with this change. Prefix builds will continue to use the old
non-external method. Support for building examples externally in
prefix builds will be a separate change.
