I read somewhere that the Trolltech people were getting loads of
trivial, but irritating, support requests about the 2.3 free edition.
Maybe saying that it is supported only for those who care to install
MinGW is supposed to prevent that from happening again.
If this is true, it will probably be little work to configure and
build a Visual C version, but a lot of work answering those newbie
questions!

Just my two cents,
