I volunteer for Windows/MSVC. Also, I think, we should 
include/explicitly mention MSVC2010, which is different from MSVC2008 in 
that it has support for C++11 (read: Using C++11 constructs requires 
extra checking with this compiler).
We could actually require MSVC2010 as minimum version once Qt 5 reaches 
release status.

ATM, we still support MinGW/gcc 4.4 and we are looking into supporting 
MinGW/gcc 4.6 and 64bit versions of it.
But that will probably be limited to qtbase.

Regards,
Friedemann
