Installing Qt 4.1 (open source) on Windows XP

[katrina]

So I was installing Qt 4.1 (open source) on my Windows XP computer at work and saw that it only worked with the MinGW compiler, so I said ok no problem and went looking for it only to find a mess of various tgz packages that were options. I tried finding a "windows installer" version, which I finally did, but it didn't have whatever options it needed to compile qt4 :-(
So I gave up and started playing BZ Flag instead ;-)

Back in the "old days" I would have just said "ok, so I will sort through all these packages and install what I need" but I am lazy about that stuff these days (thanks apt-get and rpm)

So what I am saying is that if anyone is looking for a project it would be nice to make a windows installer that downloads and installs both qt4.1 and mingw in a working form with minimal user effort. a lot of noobies and lazy folks like myself would be forever grateful ;-) lol
