I figured for maintainers it would be much easier, which is why I asked.
I don't use Visual Studio to build. Microsoft provides the compiler as a stand alone package for free. That's what I use.

Qt does have precompiled Windows binaries now but I can't use them (or may not be able to). The issue is that I use the free compiler Microsoft provides. It's part of the Windows SDK. The Windows 7 SDK (which I'm using because I have Windows 7) comes with VC++ 2010. Qt has 32 bit binaries for use with VC++ 2010. The 64 bit builds are for VC++ 2012 which is part of the Windows 8 SDK. I haven't investigated if the Windows 8 SDK will install and work on Windows 7. Other than the time it takes to build Sigil twice, that's the main road block.
