We didn't have any particular problems building Qt 4.8.1 with VS2012 
though we don't build the webkit.  I think I've heard of issues with that.

Our problem with this scenario is that our existing VSIntergration 
didn't work for VS2012.  And the available newer VS-Addin doesn't 
support Qt4.  This was supposed to be addressed but I don't believe it 
has.
