Wouldn't it be possible to take the Qt/X11 release and compile it with
MinGW hosted on Linux?  I suppose this assumes the Qt/X11 release uses
the same sources as the Qt/Windows release.

On the old mailing list I saw that someone got Qt/X11 compiled with
MinGW under Windows.  I want to compile under Linux, however.  I have
emailed the author but I have not gotten a response yet.

Thanks.
