    Description

      Documentation about Windows Manifest files:

      http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/windows-deployment.html#manifest-files

      says that:

      The embed_manifest_exe option is NOT enabled by default.

      that is not true. This snippet of project:

      QT += core
      QT -= gui
      CONFIG += console
      CONFIG -= app_bundle
      TEMPLATE = app
      
      SOURCES += main.cpp
      
      message("CFG" + $$CONFIG)
      

      prints out:
