If that is a real *never* then Qt just fell behind in the "what's the 
best GUI platform" stakes. It'd be a shame to lose PyQT, but if there's 
no way to migrate it forwards it will atrophy and die. Have TrollTech 
said they will never issue MSVC 7 binaries?

Is there no way to use the free Microsoft toolchain to compile, or do 
the language differences just make the whole deal too difficult (or is 
there some other show-stopper that my ignorance prevents me from seeing?).
