[Qt-creator] CDB/MS C++ Compiler Support Confusion

[Robert Caldecott]

Thanks for the tips.  I just tried to build Qt 4.5.2 using MSVC 2008
and am getting linker errors when building QtWebKitd4.dll.  I've
posted a message to the main Qt Interest group.

I really hope I can get this working - I guess I could try an MSVC
build without the webkit.
