I think GPL+qt exception would be fine (no LGPL really required currently) in
addition please explicitly allow for "linking dynamically" to OL/MAPI and
other windows dlls.
Some GNU people claim that dynamically linking makes a work a derivative of
the component beeing linked to. This means according to these people your
work becomes a derivative (in copyright terms) of MAPI/OL.
IMHO the whole concept of "linking" does break down in the case of non unix
platforms like W32 or JAVA.
