Hi,

Qt Creator often depends on important bug fixes inside qt. Even for us working 
on Qt Creator all day, it was hard to keep track on the recommended qt version 
to use for compiling creator. On top of that Creator would sometimes depend on 
features that were not released with any qt version.

Thus after some internal discussions, we agreed on the following policy:

Qt Creator releases should be compiled against the latest Qt release. Any 
exceptions need to be announced and explained on this mailing list.

Obviously once a Qt Creator release is out, the at the time of release latest 
Qt release is the minimum version, later versions should work.

To explain with a example, under the new policy:
Qt Creator 2.2 minimum qt version would have been qt 4.7.3 and the recommend 
version for the master branch would be qt 4.7.3. 

But since life is great, we start with a exception:
Due to important changes in qdoc, the right branch for both 2.2 and master is 
the qt 4.7 branch.
