[Qt-interest] Deploy Application on Windows

[Tiago Correia]

Actually, there is no problem in using VIsual Studio 2008 with or without
SP1, since without any change project will always compile with pre SP1
binaries.
If the redist from Visual Studio is distributed with the application there
is no problem. The only problem is when we don't want to use the Redist
application for installing the libraries, like we do.

One question about this, Can I provide in web the QT 4.5.0 compiled with
Visual Studio 2008 SP1 package ready for other users to download and use?
