[Qt-interest] Windows theming of standard dialogs

[Constantin Makshin]

RC_FILE variable is documented at
http://doc.qtsoftware.com/4.5/qmake-common-projects.html#the-app-template

Windows manifests are described at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/wwtazz9d(VS.80).aspx

But I'd recommend using Visual Studio 2005 or newer. It has out-of-the-box  
support of manifests (projects/makefiles generated by QMake embed  
"theming" manifest automatically) and AFAIK generates better (both faster  
and smaller) code than GCC, at least when compared to GCC 3.
