[Qt-interest] Embed pixmaps at runtime

[Constantin Makshin]

Qt resources are embedded right into the code of the application, so you  
can't easily add Qt resources at runtime. Even if you could, it's likely  
that your application won't have permissions to modify its executable file.

P.S.: And rcc has nothing to do with the application's executable. It only  
generates a C++ header file with all required information about embedded  
files. Final "embedding" is done by the compiler.
