I've tried and it works with a little patch. I have prepared a w32api header 
and lib package as 3rdparty addon for qt, which could be used in a 
specialized qmake.conf for the vc++ toolkit.

I had trouble using the qt3.1 sources. with missing symbols in qtl.h. Using 
the qt3.3.1 does not have this problem.

no-stl is the default, that means it does not add the term stl to the config 
line of .qmake.cache  You can add -stl to enable stl support.

If you have a dll it is not very complicated to generate an import library. 
Borland for example has a tool called implib. cygwin has its dlltool. I don't 
know if ms has a tool like this. Do you know where to get the mentioned dll's 
or are they present on each system ?
