MSVC2005 is needed as a kind of "debug tool" to better understand if the problem is with Qt4 or with mingw (as I suspect). Abdel is very kind to try to help in caming out with a qgit.exe more or less ready to be packaged. I'm not opposed, in this phase, to follow different _technically_ sound paths. Then when the dust settles down we could do our consideration regarding open source, in which I belive very firmly, so firmly that I'm not scared to _test_ different ways if this can be useful to shed some light on this issue.
