These are all fair points IMO.

Well this is what I thought that I did but I wasn't able to distribute 
it to the others on my team.  I don't want to have to have each member 
do configure/nmake as it takes too long.  I want to be able to copy it 
to each user's machine.

As I said, this "seems" to work except for the problem with Assistant.  
So I still have basically 2 questions:

-Assuming that the best practice is to build Qt myself for the platforms 
that we need, is it Ok to just copy the resulting hierarchy to each 
user?  (We've done this in the past with different embedded builds such 
as RLC etc. with no problems)

-Is there a way to get Assistant to "find" this qhc file or rebuild it 
or whatever short of  rebuilding everything on each machine?

Again, the only thing obvious at this point is the problem with 
Assistant but we'd have to build several different projects to know for 
sure.
