Let's be clear: it's a kludge to get decent compile times using the MinGW

Uniting the scripts is a different issue. I'm sure that it's not beyond the
wit of man to modify development/Win32/packaging/build_lyxwin.sh so that
there are both static and dynamic routes. Usage:
Angus, I don't think we have to support both static and dynamic linking.
Maintaing one solution is enough. Let's keep it simple.
My problem is that dynamic linking doesn't real work on my machine (at
least it didn't when I tried last time; I will check eventually whether
things have improved recently). If you are able to provide us with a
1.4.X installer with a shared qtwin lib, I won't complain :-)
BTW: What will happen if you install a 1.4 package on a machine that
already has 1.3 installed? Will your installer remove the old version or
can both versions live on the same machine (beside the fact that LyX
files are associated to one of the two versions). Does the
deinstallation routine cope with two versions?
