d08e820abf5da2be09b8a84b5bd3450d1a55a039 Add a note to msvc readme re building Qt for Bitcoin Core. (Aaron Clauson)
Pull request description:
Updated the msvc readme with a note about avoiding path too long errors when building Qt with Bitcoin Core.
Would have saved me half an hour if I'd remembered this from the last time I did the build.
