[Qt-creator] Setting build environment variables from command line (Windows)

[sjj246 at gmail.com]

Okay, so it should work.

I forgot to say that I am running Qt 4.5.3, Qt Creator 1.2.1 and
Windows 7 SDK on Windows 7. I downloaded the source codes
(deliberately chose not to download any binaries) for Qt 4.5.3 and Qt
Creator 1.2.1 and compiled them using Windows 7 SDK.

If it works on Windows Vista, it sounds to me that it should also work
on Windows 7 (those should not be so different, right?). Or could the
reason be that I am using Qt 4.5.3? I noticed that the forthcoming Qt
4.6 supports Windows 7.
