[Interest] Qt 5.2/5.3 Windows - fully static?

[Nikos Chantziaras]

It would be awesome if the binary downloads for Qt would also contain 
static versions of the libraries.

I recently got contracted to develop a set of command-line tools for 
internal use ("in-house"). They must run on Windows and Mac. I've got a 
static Qt on my systems; I know how to do that. But when I sent the 
projects over, they couldn't make any sense out of how to build them on 
their own without needing shared libraries all over the place. So they 
rely on my own binaries. If I get run over by a bus, they're screwed.

Including static versions in the official Qt downloads would help 
everyone a lot.
