Yeah, that's right, I didn't check if my zip file was self contained... I need some files in that previous zip files, although mine overwrites some of them =)

I didn't have to do this at all. Where is that Makefile.pro exactly?

I didn't check what was enabled in the lib yet, so far I'm using the same .qmake.cache as the win32-g++ binary distribution, and for that config I didn't have to touch makefiles either. 
I did had to debug qmake a bit to get it to generate working makefiles, so I might have missed things required for other config options

Somehow this didn't work with the nmake compilation and the resulting .lib files always generated double definitions for bad_cast or something when they were linked to a project.

So, does this means you are using qmake -t vclib?
I haven't touched the vcproj generator yet :P
It works building from the command line... but I had to do a nmake distclean to remove the Makefiles from win32-g++ and have them re-generated by my patched qmake.

Mine looks exactly like the screenshot, is it taken after or before the change? Mine is unchanged. :)
