I'm not sure how to release it. We used to bundle it in
spice-guest-tools but there was a signing process too.

I see that virtio-win also bundles spice-guest-tools so, they
ship our ancient release... I see something in preinst for
amd64/w8 on qxldod [0]. Vadim, does virtio-win build/sign qxldod for
some Windows releases with fixes?
