Hi,

I managed to find a workaround for Windows. I could not make dynamic 
tree widget updates work correctly on Windows, at best I got duplicate 
components and libraries whenever new entries are added. The only 
solution that worked for me is to recreate the tree upon a change.

The price to pay is slower updates and collapsing tree nodes, but I hope 
it is acceptable for now. Later, I will try to reexpand the nodes after 
the widget update, but for now I wanted to provide code that might be 
tested on different platforms to get some feedback.

I pushed fixed and rebased code to the same branch.

Cheers,
Orson
