You are right, it was only an idea to help Sebastian to plan his porting to 
the Windows world. I used the Qt version of windows to port another project 
from linux to Win32, but it only uses the Qt lib. The free Qt lib for Windows 
may used in GPL projects as far as I understood this license. 

To write a native Win32 application with Qt you need at this time the VC (this 
nice toy), that is true.

But I think as Sebastian, we need in the future an implementation of umbrello 
which is more separated into the engine and the user interface. There is a 
lot of code inside which combine both in one function. That brings a lot of 
problem, if you want to do some changes or adds to umbrello now.
