As long as there is no reasonable Qt-related difference in the source
code between a Win32 version for Cygwin Qt and native Qt, I don't
think there's a problem with providing a native binary, so that no
exception should be necessary.

The only problem could be that native Qt is compiled with MSVC and
can't be linked from gcc, making it necessary to use the Intel
compiler, but patches to facilitate the use of another compiler
shouldn't violate the GPL.

(Which is as C++ standards compliant as it gets, the problem is just
with the quasistandard set by gcc... but there are worse projects than
LyX in this direction.)

These were mainly for compilation with the Intel compiler.
