Yes, that would be very usefull for eventual wanabe developer.
Here is some hints that you might find useful in your README:

1) Qt failed to compile with VC++ 6.0. You need Mingw or bcc32?? or VC++
 > 7.1 ??

2) remove any directory from the path that may contain a sh.exe : it
could be Cygwin OR Msys (ex: C:\msys\bin). Problem is that Qt might need
other programs than gcc and binutils. So a list of those if any would be
good.
2) warning: building a shared with Mingw needs a lot of Memory (>400
Megs RAM + lots of VM).
3) warning: building a static lib could lead to non functional
executables, as Michael Hertz said:

Ah. I forgot to mention: Ignore this!

There is a bug in qtwin/src/kernel/qapplication_win.cpp which doesn't
show up if you run LyX but makes all qtwin examples fail. If you change
qCreateCommandLine to

void qCreateCommandLine( QStringList &cmd_lst, int &argc,
QMemArray<pchar> &argv )
{
    argc = 0;
    /* set size of argv ( + 1 because of \0 for last element ) */
    argv.resize( argc + 1 );
    argv[ 0 ] = NULL;
}

the problem vanishes (which drops all cmd line args, of course, but I
don't care about them... but maybe the qtwin guy does (Christian???))

Hope that helps,
Abdel.
