[Eric] Eric Windows 8.1 install failed, need QtWebKit?

[Robert Withrow]

>>> from PyQt4 import QtWebKit
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

QtWebKit is included in both the Qt and PyQt stuff I installed.  But
something is bollixed because the webkit stuff won't run from the pyqt or
even qt examples.

So I uninstalled/deleted everthing and started afresh:

   - python-3.3.3.msi (the x86 version)
   - qt-win-opensource-4.8.5-vs2010.exe (the x86 version)
   - PyQt4-4.10.3-gpl-Py3.3-Qt4.8.5-x32.exe

Now everything works.  I guess something in the newer or x64 stuff isn't
ready for prime time.

Thanks for the correction on the PyQt5 thing.
Incidentally, the download page states that QScintilla is an independent
prerequisite, but it comes with the QT package so maybe that part can be
simplified?
