Their free version is called "Qt Open Source Edition".  It is probably good that
we use "free" instead of "open source" to avoid too much similarity.

Qt/Windows Free Edition sounds good, but it is a bit long.  We could refer to it
as Qt WFE.

I don't know if we want to discuss versions now also..  The question is how do
we denote Qt version numbers and our release version numbers.  For example, we
may aim for compatibility with Qt 3.3.3 and make many releases, and then target
4.0 compatibility.  Perhaps we could say "Qt 3.3.3 WFE 2", where 2 means our
second 3.3.3-compatible release.
