The binary release is several months old.
Maybe the actual 3.1 code is better.
Especially the wrong window captions could be fixed in the actual 3.1 version.

You could try it with a actual cvs checkout.
The win32 port also supports vc6:

http://kde-cygwin.sourceforge.net/qt3-win32/compile-msvc.php

you just have to set some environment variables and run configure-msvc.bat.
(Use the more complete 3.1 version: QT_WIN32_3_BRANCH)
