I.e., you might even be able to use Qt 5.7.0 from the Qt website.
5.7.0 from the Qt website won't have QtWebKit. The last precompiled version that includes QtWebKit is 5.5.1.

I'll have to take look at Sigil's code and see how Qt is involved with launching the plugin via the menu, and how it differs from launching via the plugin button. It almost has to be a QString path getting botched somehow with the former.

If something in Sigil can be changed to work with the repo versions of 5.5.1 (and I have to believe it can, since assigning the plugin to a button still works in the repo version of 5.5.1), then I'd like to find it. They could stay parked on 5.5.1 for quite a while.
