I'm pretty sure that was about Visual Studio Integration that is not  
available "out of the box" in open source version of Qt or even that part  
of the documentation is outdated. List of supported platforms/compilers  
(http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/supported-platforms.html) says that all more  
or less modern versions of Visual Studio are ones of the most actively  
supported compilers. Compiler notes page  
(http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/compiler-notes.html) also doesn't contain  
any information about limited support of MSVC.

P.S.: Qt developers, the licensing FAQ entry #126  
(http://qt.nokia.com/developer/faqs/126) is way too outdated and should be  
removed.
