we need to document this in the book and changelog

need to check this works with qrc files as we don't have any in our tests?

appears we still need the +whole-archive internally though? Unless is there a way of removing this too 🤔

it might only be Cargo builds that now need it? As seems they can't tell that the extern's from Rust are linking through to the init method.

I think so, but this also means we don't need the init method at all in our cargo-only builds, right?
Initialization can just work "as-is" in that case, as we don't have a problem there iirc.

Yes it means we don't need the init currently in Cargo, although it'd be nice to remove this whole-archive and have the linker figure things out.
However i wonder if we still document that you should use it, as later it gives us a place to register/setup anything globally. Eg what if we wanted to setup Qt logging or something?

This reverts commit 40f5ad1. We have changed to using an init method rather than whole-archive which fixes Windows CI.
