Right. But:
1) We all wish to have good-working g++ on win32 with supported Qt3 and able
to link with 3rd party binary-only libraries. At the time I can't even ask
developers (even non-commercial) to wrap everything such low-level as
linking system, runtime names resolving, etc. Personally, I also just don't
want to patch M$ tools again and again to get it closer to POSIX ;)
2) AFAIK Trolls don't supports g++ for Qt3/win32. More, currently on win32
most people uses Borland or M$ tools as these tools are only fraction of
qt/win32 cost. Although, I wish to have g++ on TrollTech's list of
supported win32 compilers.
3) Note that everything I writing in context of win32 part of QKW, is not
related to qt/X11 compiled under Cygwin, but native qt/unix, qt/win32 and
qt/macosx targets.
