I believe it is a red herring. From a prior conversation it would appear the preferred development environment is Linux; even for the Windows package. A prior post has asked for help on what needs to be done to create that environment.  Interestingly I have downloaded every release from version 3.01-4 and none of them work when I compile under Windows.  I am wondering now what version of QT the devs are compiling against as I am using the latest SDK from Trolltech.
