this is not the appropriate place for this error. Also, I don't believe that 
the folks at Trolltech will guarantee that a snapshot will compile at any 
certain point in time, so it's likely you'll have to wait for a newer 
snapshot or try an older one and stick with it.

Also to note is that TT doesn't support MSVC 2005 either (unless they've 
changed that with Qt 4.2 and I don't know about it) so Qt won't compile 
without some unsupported patches from one of the kde-windows sites.

Hope this helps,
