[Qt-interest] Opensource source+binary distribution?

Hello

I have a doubt about qt opensource version... as far as I know the qt
distributed software should be free and include the source code, in *NIX
platforms it is the most common since qt library is generally in the system
(although most systems still have qt 3.x) and user just runs make, but
surely the majority of windows systems don't have qt and users will not make
a huge download, install a compiler and wait a couple hours to make qt just
to run an application.

My concrete question is if it is possible to distribute both source+binary
in the same package and include the required .so / .dll qt library(es) so
the user that does not have a compiler can use the free application just by
running the install?

Example package:

C:\MyProgram
C:\MyProgram\bin\myprog.exe
C:\MyProgram\src\myprogsources\*.[h,cpp]
C:\MyProgram\lib\qtlibs.dll

or maybe a Linux package

/usr/local/MyProgram
/usr/local/MyProgram/bin/MyProgram
/usr/local/MyProgram/src/myprogsources/*.[h,cpp]
/usr/local/MyProgram/lib/qtlibs.so

Note the program is free and the sources directory would be included on the
package...
