hi andreas,

thanks for your infos. I installed the non-commercial Qt4.5 binaries and
the PyQt4.5 snapshot, but running nmake for VC9express did only compile
the qtdirs.exe but nothing else, while mingw32-make did the full job.
could it be that Configure.py needs more arguments to setup for VC9?

actually mingw is fine for me, or are there serious implications I do
not know about?
