[Qt-interest] Windows linker error VS2008

[Peter Lee]

My problem was solved by the tech support people at Trolltech... the 
VS2008 Service Pack was causing the problem - if you have that installed 
then you need to recompile Qt.  I don't remember having this problem 
with 4.4.3, but it's also possible that I hadn't done release builds for 
a loooong time.

I uninstalled VS2008, reinstalled and all ok now.
