My own concerns is about having PyQt and Qt installed within different 
directories. The question list was meant to show how many questions 
could be raised and how much confusion can be created by dividing Qt 
from PyQt. All those questions ceased when you merged the two together, 
and I'd hope we won't go back there.

I'm instead totally agnostic whether to build it as a single static 
_qt.pyd or with .pyd + Qt's .dll files. The former gives you a much 
smaller installer file which might be a feature; the latter gives more 
flexibility to final users. Either way it's fine.
