Subject: [PATCH] Workaround CMake being unable to override symlink on Windows

The documentation says "If <linkname> already exists, it will
be overwritten.". This seems to be the case on GNU/Linux but
on Windows with CMake 3.24.2 (as provided by the official Qt
installer) I've nevertheless got an error.
