I think that the more magic you perform, the more you increase the
likelihood of breaking something. Making these changes just before a
release is a bad idea IMO.
In fact, I think that you should celebrate the fact that you've achieved
your *primary* goal already: the configure system has enough knobs to
allow LyX to be built on all systems *now*. Moreover, these knobs are all
documented and are usable by the uninitiated.

No, I mean that we have a --with-qt-dir arguement that is understood by
configure and that I use it. Note that QT_DIR is not the same as QTDIR
which the Qt build system treats as "special".
All I'm trying to do is tell the build system that it should look for the
Qt library/header files at J:\MinSYS\home\Angus\qt3\{lib,include}
The present system works; why are you interested in changing it now? (Just
before a release.)
