[texworks] CMake can be used to build TeXworks on Windows

Hello everyone,

Just tried using CMake to build TeXworks on Windows. I installed the Qt
4.7.3 SDK and used MinGW to compile Hunspell, Freetype and Poppler. This was
enough to configure a TeXworks build. I had to specify some of the component
locations manually, but `cmake-gui.exe` helped a lot with that. The
resulting configuration appears to have built a working copy of
TeXworks.exe.

Haven't given any thought to packaging, but I thought I would let everyone
know that CMake appears to work on Windows without any significant
difficulties.
