[Qt-interest] Scripting support for Qt/C++ application

[Harri Pasanen]

Building the proper python may or may not be tricky depending on what platform 
you are targeting.

For SVG Pony I built my own Python 2.5 with mingw that came with QtSDK, using 
Qt 4.6 if I recall.  Later versions of python had some issue when building 
with mingw, but that was about a year ago.

If you are using Visual Studio with Qt, then the upstream Python might work 
out of the box.

On Linux everything was very straight forward.
