    \brief Provides Nullsoft Scriptable Install System support.

    The \c nsis module contains properties and rules for building EXE installers
    for Windows using the Nullsoft Scriptable Install System (NSIS).

    This module is available on all platforms.

    \note A typical NSIS script includes an \c OutFile command to set the
    filename of the generated installer executable. However, \QBS overrides any
    \c OutFile commands found in the script, and therefore, you must use the
    \l{Product::targetName}{product.targetName} property to set the filename.

    \qmlproperty stringList nsis::defines

    A list of preprocessor macros that get passed to the compiler.

    To set macro values, use the following syntax:

    \badcode
    cpp.defines: ["USE_COLORS=1", 'COLOR_STR="blanched almond"']
    \endcode

    \qmlproperty bool nsis::disableConfig

    Whether to exclude \c nsisconf.nsh.

    Generally, you do not need to set this property.

*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty bool nsis::enableQbsDefines

    Whether to define preprocessor macros corresponding to the values from the
    \l{Project}{project} and \l{Product}{product} objects.

    When building a 64-bit package, the preprocessor variable \c{Win64} will
    also be defined.

    \defaultvalue \c{true}
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty string nsis::warningLevel

    The severity of the warnings to emit. The higher the level, the more
    warnings will be shown.

    The levels \c{none}, \c{errors}, \c{warnings}, \c{info}, and \c{all}
    correspond to the NSIS verbosity levels 0 through 4, inclusive. \c{normal}
    corresponds to the default level.

    A list of additional flags for the NSIS compiler.

    \qmlproperty string nsis::compressor

    The compression algorithm used to compress files and data in the installer.

    Setting this property overrides any \c SetCompressor command in the NSI file
    being compiled.

    Possible values include: \c{"default"}, \c{"zlib"}, \c{"zlib-solid"},

    The NSIS minor version.

    \defaultvalue \c{versionParts[1]}
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty list nsis::versionParts

    The NSIS version as a list.

    For example, the NSIS version 2.46.0.0 would correspond to a value of
    \c[2, 46, 0, 0].

    \defaultvalue \c []
