Well, first of all, you'll have to buy the commercial version of Qt, which
comes with source, to be able to do this. The non-commercial "free" version
of Qt/Windows comes as a MSVC compiled binary only distribution, and you
can't use Mingw with that (Trolltech recently announced the noncommercial
license for Qt/Windows -- see http://www.trolltech.com/ and searc the
announcements).

If you already have a full license, please give it a try and see what
happens!

That said, I'd love to see the patches for Qt/Windows to be buildable by
Mingw. The only patches I had seen a while back, actually a long time ago,
were not quite there yet, and have not heard anything since. 

I tried a quick search, but no hits, so please send a message to the list
if you find out anything more.
