I think I saw a comment under this thread that shipping the Qt libraries
to make a self-contained windows installation would be excessively large
(350 MB from my memory). This probably is far more than is necessary
simply to use the qt devices. We ship binaries of our QSAS application
for windows with all the necessary qt libraries. At rough calculation
the qt dll's take up about 17 MB. (our entire application is zipped into
38 MB). Of course, if the use wants to build a qt application they'll
need the full Qt sdk, but to be able to drive the qt device only
requires a handful of dll's. Alban may/will be better able to advise,
but it must be straightforward to work out what libs the qt device
actually loads.

This would have the same advantage for you as it does for us, namely a
self-contained binary distribution that doesn't require any external
capabilities (e.g., X, cairo, etc., etc.) and handles a full set of
devices.

Regards,
Steve
