Let me repeat what Abdel said about this.

Trolltech release a GPL-ed version of Qt4 for Windows with
support for mingw only.

However, the Q../Win project (qt.sf.net) take this GPL-ed
version and release their own GPL-ed version that differs
from the original, Trolltech, sources *only* by adding
support for these extra compilers.

So, use the Q../Win project's version of the Qt4 sources.
You won't get support from Trolltech if you fail to compile
the code using VC, but you're likely to get help from the
Q../Win guys if you mail their list. Moreover, the actual
sources themselves are *identical*, to those released by Trolltech.

Moreover, there are no licensing issues involved.
Both Trolltech's and Q../Win's stuff is released under the GPL.

Angus
