[Qt-interest] Libs and redist

[Constantin Makshin]

I'm not completely sure, but (2) may be necessary to fulfill the requirement from LGPLv2.1, section 6:
"You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License."

Also, the standard "About Qt" dialog box (QApplication::aboutQt() or QMessageBox::aboutQt()) is a good way to satisfy both (2) and, partially, (3).
