That's because of cmake. CMake doesn't seem to like files with a .exe 
extension, at least not if they're not compiled by a C/C++ compiler. I 
haven't found out why, but it won't work if you give the output files an .exe 
extension.

If you compile it on windows, you would get two times a qyoto.dll - once a 
real C/C++ DLL, once the .NET one.

We could do that, but then we would have to put qt-dotnet.dll outside the gac, 
as it's not nice to have shared libraries and .NET dlls in the same GAC 
directory.
I've thought about pkg-config, too, but to make it work it was enough to just 
put it in the gac and that was it.
But as you suggested, a seperate directory with the .dll's and .so's might be 
a good idea together with pkg-config.
