This last is an ideal candidate for a separate thread and there's no real
reason why it shouldn't make its way into the 1.4.x port to Windows.
However, I don't really regard it as high priority either.
BTW: I managed to use a static version of the Qt library with LyX. This reduces linking time by several orders. With dynamic linking, it was simply impossible to generate a binary on a 1Ghz 384MB machine. Now it takes less than a minute to link.
Angus, if you want to use a static library as well, you have to set
export LDFLAGS='-L/home/michael/qt-3.3.4/lib -lqtmain -lqt-mt -lgdi32 -lole32 -luuid -lwsock32 -lcomdlg32'
before you run ./configure. Moreover, the configure test for the Qt library won't work. In the configure script you have to change line 12609 to
ac_link='$CXX -o conftest$ac_exeext conftest.$ac_ext $CXXFLAGS $CPPFLAGS $LDFLAGS $LIBS >&5'
The point is that conftext.C must be listed in front of the qt library!
