[PyKDE] PyQt application packagers for windows?

[Greg Fortune]

My e-mails and phone calls with Trolltech addressed exactly that clause and 
they said it was fine even after I explained that strictly speaking it was a 
violation of that clause.  They did say that if I exposed the Qt api in my 
app and made it available to the end user (aka, the qt scripting component), 
that would be a violation.
