[Qt-creator] GCC 4.x in Windows suggestion

GCC 4 was released in April of 2005, and the MinGW project has yet to update
past version 3.
TDM provides tested, working releases of GCC 4.x for Windows here:

I understand that Nokia can't just integrate any Joe Programmer's GCC port
into a real-world product. You'd be at the mercy of the release and support
cycle of a group with questional long-term predictability.

That said, it seems Qt Creator is at the mercy of a project which is nearing
four years since a major update. Seriously. Please consider TDM's product.
They seem to have a good track record, recent releases, and it is available
now. Their website may say the releases are unofficial, but they are no less
official than MinGW's GCC releases.
