[PyQt] A little trouble developing a conda recipe for PyQt5

[Kovid Goyal]

Instructions for compiling Qt 5 with MSVC 2008 can be found here: https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibre/blob/master/setup/installer/windows/notes.rst

Look for the Qt section. Some of the build customization options are
calibre specific, but it should serve as a good starting point.
