[Qt-interest] MSVC add-in - some problems

[Olaf Krzikalla]

Hi,

I've encountered two problems with the MSVC add-in.

1. Sometimes environment variables are surrounded by _() instead of $(). 
That is, in the vcproj file things like _(QTDIR) appear, where $(QTDIR) 
would be correct. In particular the bug can be found in all the 
VCCustomBuildTool sections (moc, uic, rcc). This bug is already there 
for a while and it didn't change until 1.1.7.

2. Since at least 1.1.5 library names seems to be expanded to a fully 
qualified path. That is, if you have something like this:

LIB_DIR = c:\example
LIBS += -L"$$LIB_DIR" -lmylib

then the vcproj may contain the entry

AdditionalDependencies=c:\example\mylib.lib

It seems that the add-in searches and locates the libs. Well, the idea 
itself seems already broken to me (but I don't know, whether this is 
just an accidently activated feature, because former vcproj files didn't 
have that issue). However, the actual bug occurs if LIB_DIR contains a 
space. Then eventually the command line issued to the msvc linker is broken.
I tried to fix it this way:

LIBS += -L"$$LIB_DIR" -l"mylib"

but it didn't help.
