Especially as Digia only provide x64 Qt libraries compiled against MSVC2013... So it looks like we cannot win on both sides.

Yet another nail in the GTK coffin? We'll just all have to try a bit harder to bring the QT build up to speed.

Note it's now "The QT Company", Digia have taken a step back.  See http://blog.qt.digia.com/blog/2014/09/16/the-qt-company-introduces-a-unified-website-and-20e25-monthly-indie-mobile-package/
